BRING HEAVEN TO EARTH

                              Let no one deceive another,

                              Let no one anywhere despise another,

                              Let no one out of anger or resentment

                              Wish suffering on anyone at all.

                              Just as a mother with her own life

                              Protects her child, her only child, from harm,

                              So within yourself let grow

                              A boundless love for all creatures.

                              Let your love flow outward through the universe

                              To its height, its depth, its broad extent,

                              A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.

                              Then, as you stand or walk,

                              Sit or lie down,

                              As long as you are awake,

                               Strive for this with a one-pointed mind.

                              Your life will bring heaven to earth.

                                                                                  —        THE BUDDHA
