The Four Boundless Qualities [2]

Kate Thomas, one of Khenpo Sherab Sangpo's Teaching Assistants, offers this teaching on the four boundless qualities of immeasurable love, immeasurable compassion, immeasurable joy and immeasurable equanimity. We will contemplate the meaning and cultivate each quality via meditation to generate the energy of bodhicitta in our hearts to benefit all living beings. The podcast opens with a guided meditation adapted from the "Jewel Tree of Tibet" by Robert Thurman and then moves on to teachings on "equanimity", the fourth immeasurable, based on Longchenpa's teachings in "Kindly Bent to Ease Us" in "Part One: Mind". Longchenpa counsels that beginning practitioners should meditate first on "equanimity" as the gateway to cultivating genuine bodhicitta expressed as immeasurable love, immeasurable compassion, and immeasurable joy for all living beings.
