The Discourse on Goodwill

Mettākathā Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Originating in Sāvatthi.

“Mettāya, bhikkhave, cetovimuttiyā āsevitāya bhāvitāya bahulīkatāya yānīkatāya vatthukatāya anuṭṭhitāya paricitāya susamāraddhāya ekādasānisaṁsā pāṭikaṅkhā.

Disciples, when the liberation of the mind through goodwill is developed, cultivated, made much of, made a vehicle, made a foundation, practiced, consolidated, and well undertaken, eleven benefits are to be expected.

Katame ekādasa?

What eleven?

Sukhaṁ supati, sukhaṁ paṭibujjhati, na pāpakaṁ supinaṁ passati, manussānaṁ piyo hoti, amanussānaṁ piyo hoti, devatā rakkhanti, nāssa aggi vā visaṁ vā satthaṁ vā kamati, tuvaṭaṁ cittaṁ samādhiyati, mukhavaṇṇo vippasīdati, asammūḷho kālaṁ karoti, uttari appaṭivijjhanto brahmalokūpago hoti.

One sleeps happily, one wakes happily, one does not see bad dreams, one is dear to human beings, one is dear to non-human beings, deities protect one, fire, poison, and weapons do not affect one, one's mind quickly becomes concentrated, one's facial complexion is serene, one dies unconfused, and if one does not penetrate further, one is reborn in the Brahma world.

Mettāya, bhikkhave, cetovimuttiyā āsevitāya bhāvitāya bahulīkatāya yānīkatāya vatthukatāya anuṭṭhitāya paricitāya susamāraddhāya— ime ekādasānisaṁsā pāṭikaṅkhā”.
