for all living beings

Buddhist monks rally in the pouring rain as they take part in a peaceful protest against the military junta of Myanmar in Yangon, Myanmar, 22 September 2007.

"Monks, even if bandits were to sever you savagely limb by limb with a two-handled saw, he who gave rise to a mind of hate toward them would not be carrying out my teaching. Herein, monks, you should train thus: ‘Our minds will remain unaffected, and we shall utter no bitter words; we shall abide compassionate for their welfare, with a mind of loving-kindness, never in a mood of hate. We shall abide pervading them with a mind imbued with loving-kindness; and starting with them, we shall abide pervading the all-encompassing world with a mind imbued with loving-kindness, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, without hostility, and without ill-will."

That is how you should train, monks.”

From Kakacupama Sutta; I 126-127, 129 [Majjhima Nikaya 21]
