Equanimity: May all have the fortune to fully awaken

If, in those who encounter me,

A faithful or angry thought arises,

May that eternally become the source

For fulfilling all their wishes.

May all who say bad things to me

Or cause me any other harm,

And those who mock and insult me

Have the fortune to fully awaken.
