Visuddhimagga IX-50

Tattha ca sabbe sattā averā abyāpajjā anīghā sukhī attānaṃ pariharantu, sabbe pāṇā, sabbe bhūtā, sabbe puggalā, sabbe attabhāvapariyāpannā averā…pe… pariharantūti imehi pañcahākārehi anodhisopharaṇā mettā cetovimutti veditabbā.

（1）「（一）愿一切有情无怨、无憎、无恼、而自有乐，（二）愿一切有息者，（三）一切生物，（四）一切人（补伽罗），（五）一切肉体所有者无怨（无憎无恼）而自有乐」，当知这是「以五种行相无限制的遍满慈心而解脱」。

Ñ(IX,50): And herein, the mind-deliverance of lovingkindness is [practised] with unspecified pervasion in these five ways: 'May all beings be free from enmity, affliction and anxiety, and live happily. May all breathing things … all creatures … all persons … all those who have a personality be free from enmity, affliction and anxiety, and live happily' (Ps.ii,130).
