Reflections of Universal Well-Being

Chanted by the monks of Abhayagiri Monastery

(Handa mayam brahmavihārapharaṇaṃ karomase)

[Ahaṃ sukhito homi], niddukkho homi, avero homi, abyāpajjho homi, anīgho homi, sukhi attānaṃ pariharāmi.

Sabbe sattā sukhitā hontu, sabbe sattā averā hontu, sabbe sattā abyāpajjhā hontu, sabbe sattā anīgha hontu, sabbe sattā sukhi attānaṃ pariharantu.

Sabbe sattā sabbadukkhā pamuccantu.

Sabbe sattā mā laddha-sampattito vigachhantu.

Sabbe sattā kammassakā kammadāyādā kammayonī kammabandhū kammapaṭisaraṇa, yaṃ kammaṃ karissanti kalyāṇaṃ vā pāpakaṃ vā tassa dāyādā bhavissanti.

(Now let us chant the reflections on universal well-being.)

[May I abide in well-being], in freedom from affliction, in freedom from hostility, in freedom from ill-will, in freedom from anxiety, and may I maintain well-being in myself.

May everyone abide in well-being, in freedom from hostility, in freedom from ill-will, in freedom from anxiety, and may they maintain well-being in themselves.

May all beings be released from all suffering.

And may they not be parted from the good fortune they have attained.

When they act upon intention, all beings are the owners of their action and inherit its results. Their future is born from such action, companion to such action, and its results will be their home. All actions with intention, be they skillful or harmful, of such acts they will be the heirs.

About

Teachings from the Buddha-dhamma, nondual, and other contemplative traditions. A place to share things I'm reading and listening to, and to engage in dialogue.

I've been a Theravadan practitioner for around 10 years. Before that, I focused on Ch'an/Zen as a religion major in university. Currently I am a student at NYZCCC in the foundations of Buddhist contemplative care program.

I welcome your questions, and invite you to listen and reflect further with me.
