Counters the afflictive thoughts of hostility and harm

Just like me, this person wants to be happy.
Just like me, this person has known pain and suffering.
Just like me, this person is doing the best that they can.
Just like me, this person wants to love and to be loved.

May I be free from suffering.
May you be free from suffering.
May I be held in kindness just as I am.
May you be held in kindness just as you are.
May we be at ease in our bodies, hearts and minds.
