I will abide pervading one quarter

Brahmavihara Chant

I will abide pervading one quarter
with a mind imbued with lovingkindness
likewise the 2nd, likewise the 3rd, likewise the 4th
so above and below, around and everywhere
and to all as to myself

I will abide pervading the all-encompassing world
with a mind imbued with lovingkindness
Abundant, exalted, immeasureable
without hostility and without ill-will.

I will abide pervading the all-encompassing world
with a mind imbued with compassion
Abundant, exalted, immeasureable
without hostility and without ill-will.
