A Loving Kindness Meditation

Here is a meditation we use every night when putting our son to bed. I cobbled it together using Rev. Kusala's loving kindness meditation from the Urban Dharma Podcast):

May our family, our friends, our teachers, classmates and coworkers, all the people we don't know, and all the people we don't like, be happy, peaceful, and free from suffering.

May no harm come to us. May no difficulties come to us. May no problems come to us. May we always find fulfillment.

May we also have patience, courage, understanding, and determination,

to meet and overcome the inevitable difficulties, problems, and failures in life.

May the suffering ones be suffering free, May the fear struck - fearless be. May the grieving shed all grief, And the sick find health relief.
