Two Mondays, December 5 and 12, 2016
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

with Mushim

Can we experience empathetic joy in others’ successes and joyful moments, even when their experience and worldview is very different from our own? Mudita (unselfish joy) is one of the Brahmaviharas, also called the Four Immeasurables. These are Buddhist teachings and practices that help us to access dynamic calming, stilling, and healing mindbody states. As we cultivate the limitless quality of mudita, over time jealousy and apathy drop away, and we harvest true happiness, spiritual strength, and awakening insight. These practices are considered complementary to insight meditation. Dharma talks, discussion, interactive exercises. Instruction provided for beginners in meditation.
