Karanīya Mettā Sutta

Karanīya Mettā Sutta

This is the well known Karanīya Mettā Sutta from the Suttanipāta (Sn 143-152). More info on my Flickr Site - click the image to find it.

I offer this version to offset the unskilful things I've done, said and thought in the last couple of weeks. Please feel free to copy this and spread it around.

My website has the Roman text and my translation. I've done another more colloquial translation. Also I've done a partial commentary. There are many translations online, each with its own merits.

Ratnaguṇasaṁcayagāthā

Added calligraphy of the first verse of the Ratnaguṇasaṁcayagāthā. I'm looking for more small projects which I can do, perhaps other verses from this sutra, but others as well. The Perfection of Wisdom in one letter would be an obvious one if I can find the Sanskrit.

The Last Words of the Buddha

I have a long fascination with the official last words that the Buddha spoke: vayadhammā sankhārā appamādena saṃpadethā. They are so pregnant with meaning and siginificance. I've just added some calligraphy of the words using Siddhaṃ to write the Pāli from the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta, along with my translation and links to my blog article on them.

Karanīya Metta Sutta

I've just added a page for the Karanīya Metta Sutta in the Siddham script. It's accompanied by the Pāli text in Roman script, and my translation.
