Mettasuttaṃ
143.
Karaṇīyamatthakusalena, yanta santaṃ padaṃ abhisamecca;
Sakko ujū ca suhujū ca, sūvaco cassa mudu anatimānī.
144.
Santussako ca subharo ca, appakicco ca sallahukavutti;
Santindriyo ca nipako ca, appagabbho kulesvananugiddho.
145.
Na ca khuddamācare kiñci, yena viññū pare upavadeyyuṃ;
Sukhino va khemino hontu, sabbasattā bhavantu sukhitattā.
146.
Ye keci pāṇabhūtatthi, tasā vā thāvarā vanavasesā;
Dīghā vā ye va mahantā, majjhimā rassakā aṇukathūlā.
147.
Diṭṭhā vā ye va adiṭṭhā, ye va dūre vasanti avidūre;
Bhūtā va sambhavesī va, sabbasattā bhavantu sukhitattā.
148.
Na paro paraṃ nikubbetha, nātimaññetha katthaci na kañci;
Byārosanā paṭighasaññā, nāññamaññassa dukkhamiccheyya.
149.
Mātā yathā niyaṃ puttamāyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe;
Evampi sabbabhūtesu, mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṃ.
150.
Mettañca sabbalokasmi, mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṃ;
Uddhaṃ adho ca tiriyañca, asambādhaṃ averamasapattaṃ.
151.
Tiṭṭhaṃ caraṃ nisinno va, sayāno yāvatāssa vitamiddho;
Etaṃ satiṃ adhiṭṭheyya, brahmametaṃ vihāramidhamāhu.
152.
Diṭṭhiñca anupaggamma, sīlavā dassanena sampanno;
Kāmesu vinaya gedhaṃ, na hi jātuggabbhaseyya punaretīti.
Mettasuttaṃ aṭṭhamaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ.
