The Great Aspiration of Metta
As a mother, at the risk of her life,
Watches over her only child,
Let him cherish an unbounded mind
For all living beings.
Let him have love for the whole world
And develop an unbounded mind
Above, below and all around,
Boundless heart of goodwill, free of hatred,
Standing, walking, sitting or lying down,
So long as he be awake
Commentary Bhikkhu Sujato, “A New Reading of the Mettasutta that will Change Everything” (SuttaCentral Discussion).
“Let this year be the year of kindness. Start being kind to yourself so that you will be kind with everyone else. Let it be the year of love. Let everything you do come from a place of love and compassion. Let it be the year of healing. Allow healing to start with yourself so that what you touch starts healing and returning to its origin…”
