We are very lucky because the Supreme Buddha, our Great Teacher, has taught us all about morality, concentration and wisdom. Now, without anger, ill will and jealousy, let’s spread loving kindness to all beings. Think in this way:
May I be free from anger.
May I be free from ill will.
May I be free from jealousy.
May I be free from mental suffering.
May I be free from physical suffering.
May I live in peace.
May I live happily.

May I be free from anger.
May I be free from ill will.
May I be free from jealousy.
May I be free from mental suffering.
May I be free from physical suffering.
May I live in peace.
May I live happily.

May all beings in this place:
... be free from anger.
... be free from ill will.
... be free from jealousy.
... be free from mental suffering.
... be free from physical suffering.
May all beings live in peace.
May all being live happily.
