May all beings be filled with joy and peace. May all beings everywhere, The strong and the weak, The great and the small, The mean and the powerful, The short and the long, the subtle and the gross: May all beings everywhere, Seen and unseen, Dwelling far off or nearby, Being or waiting to become: May all be filled with lasting joy.Let no one deceive another, Let no one anywhere despise another, Let no one out of anger or resentment Wish suffering on anyone at all. Just as a mother with her own life Protects her child, her only child, from harm, So within yourself let grow A boundless love for all creatures.
James's comment: What a wonderful prayer. I would only add to the list the things that are not beings as well. We must care for and maintain balance with the forests, lakes, mountains, oceans, rivers, etc. just as we care for all beings.
-Peace to all beings-
