Awakening a Kind Heart

In this course we will learn about and meditate on “the four immeasurable thoughts”—loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. These four mental states are essential qualities to be developed on the Buddhist path. They are also useful for anyone, Buddhist or not, because by cultivating them, we will be happier, healthier, and have better relationships with the other people in our life. Ven. Sangye Khadro will teach this course based on her book, Awakening the Kind Heart, published by Wisdom Publications. It will include talks, guided meditations, and times for discussion/questions and answers.
