I taught a class at the Rime Center called “Boundless Heart”

This was an exploration of the teaching of the Four Immeasurables.

If we can learn how to cultivate Lovingkindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity then we will develop what the Buddha called “The most noble way of living in this world.”

This set of virtues is called “immeasurable” because it’s said to be a list of things that you can never have too much of. They are: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity.

This is a series of talks I recorded while I was developing this class, along with guided meditations.

I hope these talks bring you some benefit.
