One of the beautiful things about Buddhist meditations is, at least to my way of thinking, there are no rules. I have seen many, many variations on the theme of the Metta Meditation. The object is to fill your universe with good thoughts for yourself and for others.

I really like your words — and would look forward to seeing your poem.

Be well — be in peace,

Ron Rink

I am trying to work this into a poem about spirituality.

Is it acceptable to offer:

May you be safe,
May you be healthy,
May you be at peace,
May you be happy.

Notice I changed the order.

And I have used the words at peace rather than at ease.

OK?
