Buddhism:
"Just as with her own life a mother shields from hurt her own, her only child, let all-embracing thoughts for all that live be thine, an all-embracing love for all the universe, in all its height and depth and breadth, unstinted love, unmarred by hate within, not rousing enmity."
Sutta-nipata, vv 149-150
May all creatures, all living things, all beings one and all, experience good fortune only. May they not fall into harm.
- Anguttara Nikaya II, 72 -
With all his attachments cut, with the heart's pining subdued, calm and serene and happy is he, for he has attained peace of mind.
- Samyutta Nikaya I, 212
One should first establish oneself in what is proper and only then try to instruct others. Doing this, the wise one will not be criticized.
- Dhammapada 158 -
