Calming the Heartmind: Practicing Love, Compassion, Joy & Equanimity

April 3, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, repeating until April 24, 2019

with Mushim Ikeda

Part of EBMC’s Core Buddhist Teachings: 5-Month Curriculum

The Brahmaviharas (Divine Abodes), also called the Four Immeasurables, are Buddhist teachings and practices that help us to access dynamic calming, stilling, and healing mindbody states. As we cultivate the limitless qualities of loving goodwill, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity, in time we harvest true happiness, spiritual strength, and awakening insight. These practices are considered complementary to insight (mindfulness) meditation. Dharma talks, discussion, interactive exercises. Instruction provided for beginners in meditation.

Space is limited and registration is requested. REGISTER HERE
