Peace to all Beings

Peace to all beings

may all beings be well and happy
and free from fear

peace to all beings

whether near or far
whether known or unknown
visible or invisible
real or imaginery
born or yet to be born

may all beings be well and happy
and free from fear

peace to all beings

within and beyond the imagination
in the world of ideas
in the world of memories
and in the world of dreams

may all beings be well and happy
and free from fear

peace in all elements
of earth and air and fire and water
fulfilled in space

peace

peace in all universes
from the smallest cells in the body
to the greatest galaxies in space
peace and light rising

peace and love and comfort and ease
to all in need
may they be well and happy
and free from fear
