May all my thoughts, words and actions contribute in some way to the happiness of all beings. This is a prayer each one of us can practice every day. It reminds us that our relationships with all beings and things should be mutually beneficial if we ourselves desire happiness and liberation from suffering.

samastah: all beings sharing that same location
