The Four Immeasurables Empty The Four Immeasurables

Post by LauraJ Fri Dec 26, 2008 5:11 am

The four immeasurables, also known as the Brahma Viharas (Skt.) are found in one brief and beautiful prayer:

May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes,
May all sentient beings be free of suffering and its causes,
May all sentient beings never be separated from bliss without suffering,
May all sentient beings be in equanimity, free of bias, attachment and anger.

May the wind blow you gently
Until all you illusions are lost
May the earth carry your gentle steps
Until you dance in the moonlight
May the rainbow give you a kiss
Until the colours merge into gold
