Buddhist Prayer With a mind filled with lovingkindness
(compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity), may we dwell pervading one quarter of the universe,
then a second quarter, then a third and a fourth, up and down, spreading in all directions everywhere,
may we pervade the whole world. With a mind filled with lovingkindness (compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity), may we dwell extensive, expanded, boundless,
and free from hatred and ill will.
