May all living beings
Be well and happy
May they be health
And free from disease
May they be free from
Mental and physical suffering
May they lead a life
Rich with tolerance
Compassion and patience
May they experience
Good will, friendliness and joy
May they smile at death
Aware of the absence of a
Lasting and unchanging soul
Resolving to live a noble
Life in honor of all departed loved ones.
~2013
I wrote this feeling inspired watching Gam paint as we discuss the Jataka stories and Metta Sutta or loving kindness...here is my take:
May all loving beings
seek the path to peace
becoming grounded not chasing status
born or yet to be born
May all beings be happy in themselves
Releasing anger; embracing loving kindness
Like a parent with their own child
Protecting that child with their own life
This infinite love we give to one another
And honor our wise elders who walked these paths before us
May all beings everywhere
laugh with their entire soul
freed from doubts and permanency.
May 2017 be a year filled with kindness, travels, laughter and love.
