The best way to begin this practice is by thinking of a person whose suffering you feel strongly and whose happiness is very important to you. This could be someone you know or have known, or someone you've seen on the street or read about in the newspaper.

Think of such a person and, whether you feel love, gratitude or compassion for them, say, "May they be free of suffering and the root of suffering; may they enjoy happiness and the root of happiness."
