With a boundless heart

"In order that I may be skilled in discerning what is good, 

in order that I may understand the path to peace.

Let me be able, upright, and straightforward, 

of good speech, gentle, and free from pride."

"Whatever breathing beings there are,

no matter whether frail or firm.

With none excepted, long or big

or middle-sized or short or small

or thick.

"Or those seen or unseen,

or whether dwelling far or near.

That are or that yet seek to be,

let every creature’s heart rejoice."

"So with a boundless heart

should one cherish all living beings; 

radiating kindness over the entire world

spreading upward to the skies 

and downward to the depths."
