Universal · Loving-kindness for all
सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः । सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चित् दुःखभाग्भवेत् ॥
Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah, Sarve Santu Niraamayaah. Sarve Bhadraani Pashyantu, Maa Kashchit Duhkha Bhaagbhavet.
Meaning
May all beings be happy. May all be free from illness. May all see what is auspicious. May no one suffer.
Why chant this
The metta of the Vedic tradition. Closes every ritual. Softens the heart in conflict; expands the sense of self.
Pronunciation
Sing more than chant. Let each "sarve" (all) open the chest.
