Boundless Heart: The Buddha’s Path of Kindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity

A course in the Buddhist practice of the brahma viharas, or heavenly abodes. Detailed instructions from the Buddhist tradition in cultivating mindfulness presented by a prominent Insight Meditation teacher.

An esteemed Insight Meditation teacher leads you through the sublime qualities of Buddhism-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity-and how they can enrich your life

Compassion, kindness, equanimity, and joy are not only the fruits of the awakened life but also the path to it-attitudes of mind that can be cultivated through intention and dedication. Also known as the brahma viharas(sublime abodes) and the Four Immeasurables, these enobling qualities are far more than simply the feel-good states they are often mistaken for. They must be pursued sincerely as a spiritual practice-not just as a means of getting a spiritual high -in order to experience the full extent of their power.

In Boundless Heart, Christina Feldman presents teachings on the Four Immeasurables, exploring how they balance each other in a way that enhances them all. Her simple practices will lead you toward a life infused with kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity-and to a way of being that promotes those qualities to the world at large.
