Teachings, Meditation, Dialogue
In this daylong retreat, we will explore the early Buddhist teachings on the four brahmavihāras—benevolence, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity—as valuable resources for responding to the manifold challenges of contemporary life.
We will examine them both as meditative practices and in relation to daily life situations. How can these beautiful mind states help us relate to ourselves, to each other, and to any experience that comes our way?
Special attention will be given to how the brahmavihāras are cultivated in alignment with right view and the other factors of the Noble Eightfold Path, both in meditation and in everyday life.
