Four Immeasurables
Translated from Digha Nikaya III #33: Sangiti Suttanta
by
Michael Olds

Ol'Begga Ols with e's Ol'Begga's Bowl

Here friends,
a beggar lives suffusing the first quarter
with thoughts of friendliness;
and so also the second, third, and fourth quarters.
Thus he lives suffusing the world all-over,
all-through,
encompassing all,
above, below and across with thoughts of friendliness.

Thus he lives a suffusing
that is bountiful,
widespread,
immeasurable,
friendly,
without injury.

and so also the second, third, and fourth quarters.
Thus he lives suffusing the world all-over,
all-through,
encompassing all,
above, below and across with thoughts of sympathy.

Thus he lives a suffusing
that is bountiful,
widespread,
immeasurable,
friendly,
without injury.

all-through,
encompassing all,

without injury.

Ol'Begga Ols with e's Ol'Begga's Bowl

He lives suffusing the first quarter
with objectively detached thought;
and so also the second, third, and fourth quarters.

all-through,
encompassing all,
above, below and across with objectively detached thought.

Thus he lives a suffusing
that is bountiful,
widespread,
immeasurable,
friendly,
without injury.
