The Power of the Brahma Viharas: Cultivating the four faces of love in our relational lives hybrid series with Jean Esther

 Referred to by the Buddha as the “Four Immeasurables,” these four different interconnected qualities- Lovingkindness, Compassion, Appreciative Joy and Equanimity- are considered natural fruits of Insight Meditation practice, and can also be cultivated on their own. Practicing with the Brahma Viharas can have a profound impact on how we relate to the rapidly-changing world within and around us.
In this four-part series, we will engage in guided meditations, hear short discourses and explore the direct impact of these practices within ourselves and with others in our relational world.
PLEASE NOTE: While participants are encouraged to attend all four for a more comprehensive immersion, you are also welcome to attend any individual session on its own.
No pre-registration is required.
The talks are open to both those who are experienced in meditation and those who are just beginning to explore.

Accessibility and Inclusivity Practices for In-Person and Hybrid Offerings: Access to elevators | Scent-free space: please avoid wearing scents | Lying-down meditation always welcome | Questions? Email general@insightwma.org

**If you have the means, please consider a donation tonight. Dana, which is the ancient Pali word for “generosity,” is a fundamental aspect of the Buddha’s teachings. Our teachers have historically received 60% of the dana given for dharma talks, and while this is still true, since the pandemic, we do make sure teachers receive a minimum guaranteed amount. Insight Western Mass operates entirely on the sangha’s acts of generosity. Those who donate more are helping to make the center accessible to all. Everyone is welcome to all of our offerings regardless of ability to donate.**
