Four Immeasurables by Garchen Rinpoche
May all sentient beings have happiness and love, the cause of happiness.
May all sentient beings be free from suffering and self-grasping, the cause of suffering.
May all sentient beings attain great bliss beyond suffering by recognizing their own true nature, self-knowing, innately clear awareness. -Translated by Ina Bieler
