Today's video looks at the meditation practice of the Brahmavihāras or "abodes of Brahma". This practice is to cultivate four emotions key to a healthy and skillful approach to the world. We will introduce these four emotions, what they are, and why we should consider them fundamental to our path towards a better and wiser life.
Lovingkindness = mettā
Compassion = karuṇā
Sympathetic joy = muditā
Equanimity = upekkhā
