Track 09 of 09: The Karaniya Metta Sutta

Karaniyam attha-kusalena,

Yam tam santam padam abhisamecca;

Sakko uju ca suhuju ca,

Suvaco c’assa mudu anatimani,

Santussako ca subharo ca,

Appakicco ca sallahuka-vutti;

Santindriyo ca nipako ca,

Appagabbho kulesu ananugiddho,

Na ca khuddam samacare kinci,

Yena vinnu pare upavadeyyum;

Sukhino va khemino hontu,

Sabbe satta bhavantu sukihitatta:

Ye keci pana-bhutatthi,

Tasa va thavara va anavasesa;

Digha va ye mahanta va,

Majjhima rassaka anuka-thula.

Dittha va ye ca adittha,

Ye ca dure vasanti avidure;

Bhuta va sambhavesi va,

Sabbe satta bhavantu sukhitatta.

Na paro param nikubbetha,

Natimannetha katthaci nam kinci;

Byarosana patigha-sanna,

Nannam-annassa dukkham-iccheyya.

Mata yatha niyam puttam,

Ayusa eka-puttam anurakkhe;

Evam pi sabba-bhutesu;

Manasam-bhavaye aparimanam.

Mettan-ca sabba-lokasmim,

Manasam-bhavaye aparimanam;

Uddham adho ca tiriyan ca,

Asambadam averam asapattam.

Titthan-caram nisinno va,

Sayano va yavat’assa vigata-middho;

Etam satim adhittheyya,

Brahmam-etam viharam idha-m-ahu.

Ditthin-ca anupagamma,

Silava dassanena sampanno;

Kamesu vineyya gedham,

Na hi jatu gabbha-seyyam punar-eti-ti.
