Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born \u2014 May all beings be at ease! Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state.<\/p>\n<p>Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another. Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings; Radiating kindness over the entire world: Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will.<\/p>\n<p>Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection.<\/p>\n<p>This is said to be the sublime abiding. By not holding to fixed views, The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision, Being freed from all sense desires, Is not born again into this world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to this\u00a0audio Topic:\u00a0\u201cLoving Kindness\u201d Description:\u00a0Rev.
