May all creatures, all living things,
all beings one and all,
experience good fortune only.
May they not fall into harm.

Good are friends when need arises;
good is contentment with just what one has;
good is merit when life is at an end,
and good is the abandoning of all suffering.

Calm is his thought, calm his speech,
and calm his deed, who, truly knowing,
is wholly freed, perfectly tranquil and wise.

At death a person abandons
what he construes as mine.
Realizing this, the wise
shouldn’t incline
to be devoted to mine.

He is not noble who injures living beings.
He is called “noble” because
he is harmless towards all living beings.
