Description

In this episode you'll learn:



  • What the divine abodes, or brahmavihārā, are

  • How each of the four abodes—goodwill (mettā), compassion (karuṇā), empathetic joy (muditā) and equanimity (upekkhā)—work

  • Why it's hard to follow the precepts when we do not develop these four qualities

  • How the brahmavihārā, through an interest in others, leads to relief of suffering

  • Why the brahmavihārā are not emotional excitement

  • How the divine abodes lead into one another successively

  • How the abodes eventually lead us into seeing things clearly

  • The relationship between the brahmavihārā and our behavior
