Karaniya Metta Sutta

Karaṇīyamatthakusalena, yanta santaṃ padaṃ abhisamecca;
Sakko ujū ca suhujū [sūjū (sī.)] ca, sūvaco cassa mudu anatimānī.
Santussako ca subharo ca, appakicco ca sallahukavutti;
Santindriyo ca nipako ca, appagabbho kulesvananugiddho.
Na ca khuddamācare kiñci, yena viññū pare upavadeyyuṃ;
Sukhino va khemino hontu, sabbasattā [sabbe sattā (sī. syā.)] bhavantu sukhitattā.
Ye keci pāṇabhūtatthi, tasā vā thāvarā vanavasesā;
Dīghā vā ye va mahantā [mahanta (?)], majjhimā rassakā aṇukathūlā.
Diṭṭhā vā ye va adiṭṭhā [adiṭṭha (?)], ye va [ye ca (sī. syā. kaṃ. pī.)] dūre vasanti avidūre;
Bhūtā va sambhavesī va [bhūtā vā sambhavesī vā (syā. kaṃ. pī. ka.)], sabbasattā bhavantu sukhitattā.
Na paro paraṃ nikubbetha, nātimaññetha katthaci na kañci [naṃ kañci (sī. pī.), naṃ kiñci (syā.), na kiñci (ka.)];
Byārosanā paṭighasaññā, nāññamaññassa dukkhamiccheyya.
Mātā yathā niyaṃ puttamāyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe;
Evampi sabbabhūtesu, mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṃ.
Mettañca sabbalokasmi, mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṃ;
Uddhaṃ adho ca tiriyañca, asambādhaṃ averamasapattaṃ.
Tiṭṭhaṃ caraṃ nisinno va [vā (sī. syā. kaṃ. pī.)], sayāno yāvatāssa vitamiddho [vigatamiddo (bahūsu)];
Etaṃ satiṃ adhiṭṭheyya, brahmametaṃ vihāramidhamāhu.
Diṭṭhiñca anupaggamma, sīlavā dassanena sampanno;
Kāmesu vinaya [vineyya (sī. syā. pī.)] gedhaṃ, na hi jātuggabbhaseyya punaretīti.

This is to be done by one skilled in aims
who wants to break through to the state of peace:
Be capable, upright, & straightforward,
easy to instruct, gentle, & not conceited,
content & easy to support,
with few duties, living lightly,
with peaceful faculties, masterful,
modest, & no greed for supporters.

Do not do the slightest thing
that the wise would later censure.

Think: Happy, at rest,
may all beings be happy at heart.
Whatever beings there may be,
weak or strong, without exception,
long, large,
middling, short,
subtle, blatant,
seen & unseen,
near & far,
born & seeking birth:
May all beings be happy at heart.

Let no one deceive another
or despise anyone anywhere,
or through anger or irritation
wish for another to suffer.

As a mother would risk her life
to protect her child, her only child,
even so should one cultivate a limitless heart
with regard to all beings.
With good will for the entire cosmos,
cultivate a limitless heart:
Above, below, & all around,
unobstructed, without enmity or hate.
Whether standing, walking,
sitting, or lying down,
as long as one is alert,
one should be resolved on this mindfulness.
This is called a sublime abiding
here & now.

Not taken with views,
but virtuous & consummate in vision,
having subdued desire for sensual pleasures,
one never again
will lie in the womb.

KARAṆĪYAMETTASUTTA
BÁC-ÁI KINH

Karaṇīyamatthakusalena,
Yantaṃ santaṃ padaṃ abhisamecca,
Sakko ujū ca suhujū ca,
Suvaco cassa mudu anatimānī.

Người hằng mong an tịnh
Nên thể hiện pháp lành,
Có khả năng, chất phác
Ngay thẳng và nhu thuận,
Hiền hòa không kiêu mạn,

Santussako ca subharo ca,
Appakicco ca sallahukavutti,
Santindriyo ca nipako ca,
Appagabbho kulesu ananugiddho.

Sống dễ dàng, tri túc,
Thanh đạm, không rộn ràng.
Lục căn luôn trong sang
Trí tuệ càng hiển minh

Na ca khuddaṃ samācare kiñci,
Yena viññū pare upavadeyyuṃ,
Sukhino vā khemino hontu,
Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā.

Chuyên cần, không quyến niệm
Không làm việc ác nhỏ
Mà bậc trí hiền chê,
Nguyện thái bình an lạc,
Nguyện tất cả sinh linh
Tròn đầy muôn phúc hạnh

Ye keci pāṇabhūtatthi,
Tasā vā thāvarā vā anavasesā,
Dīghā vā ye mahantā vā,
Majjhimā rassakā aṇukathūlā.

Chúng sanh dù yếu mạnh,
Lớn nhỏ hoặc trung bình
Thấp cao không đồng đẳng
Hết thảy chúng hữu tình,
Lòng từ không phân biệt

Diṭṭhā vā yeva adiṭṭhā,
Ye ca dūre vasanti avidūre,
Bhūtā vā sambhavesī vā,
Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā.

Hữu hình hay vô hình,
Đã sinh hoặc chưa sinh
Gần xa không kể xiết,
Nguyện tất cả sinh linh
Tròn đầy muôn phúc hạnh.

Na paro paraṃ nikubbetha,
Nātimaññetha katthaci naṃ kiñci,
Byārosanā paṭighasaññā,
Nāññamaññassa dukkhamiccheyya.

Đừng lừa đảo lẫn nhau,
Chớ bất mãn điều gì,
Đừng mong ai đau khổ
Vì tâm niệm sân si
Hoặc vì nuôi oán tưởng.

Mātā yathā niyaṃ puttaṃ,
Āyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe,
Evampi sabbabhūtesu,
Mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṃ.

Như mẹ giàu tình thương
Suốt đời lo che chở,
Đứa con một của mình,
Hãy phát tâm vô lượng
Cùng tất cả sinh linh

Mettañca sabbalokasmiṃ,
Mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṃ,
Uddhaṃ adho ca tiriyañca,
Asambādhaṃ averaṃ asapattaṃ

Từ bi gieo cùng khắp
Cả thế gian khổ hải,
Trên dưới và quanh mình
Không hẹp hòi, oan trái
Không hờn giận, oán thù.

Tiṭṭhañcaraṃ nisinno vā,
Sayāno vā yāvatassa vigatamiddho,
Etaṃ satiṃ adhiṭṭheyya,
Brahmametaṃ vihāraṃ idhamāhu.

Khi đi, đứng, nằm, ngồi
Bao giờ còn thức tỉnh
Giữa niệm từ bi này,
Thân tâm thường thanh tịnh,
Phạm hạnh chính là đây.

Diṭṭhiñca anupagamma,
Sīlavā dassanena sampanno,
Kāmesu vineyya gedhaṃ,
Na hi jātu gabbhaseyyaṃ punaretīti.

Ai xả ly kiến thủ,
Giới hạnh được tựu thành,
Chánh tri đều viên mãn
Không ái nhiễm dục trần,
Thoát ly đường sanh tử.

Medicine Buddha healing Mantra Chanting

Tayata Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate Soha

"English translation: 'May the many sentient beings who are sick, quickly be freed from sickness. And may all the sicknesses of beings never arise again.'

Buddha taught that suffering is caused by attachment to things, people, etc. We think things will bring us happiness. but our attachment actually brings us much suffering because we become obsessed with protecting them, ever hungry for more, and depressed when we lose them. A better way to live is to enjoying the abundance around us but not become attached -- "counting nothing as one's own".

Peace, It means not to desire anything because you are , all ready, all that is and all that will ever be!! (there is no need for a selfish thought (or a desire) when you know you are part of all that is and all that will ever BE Already! ) Being at one with the Universe is living in Abundance! Blessings"
