The sudden appearance of a global pandemic confronts us most immediately with the fragility of life and the truth of suffering. More than ever do we sense our relatedness: in life, in sickness and in death. And yet, in the struggle to find some stability, our more unhelpful tendencies seem to be reinforced: to separate, alienate, to accumulate and to attempt\u00a0 controlling what cannot be controlled.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Brahma Viharas<\/span><\/i>, also called \u2018Sublime Abidings\u2019 or \u2018Immeasurables\u2019, offer a way out of this spiral. As undetachable qualities of the heart, they can offer us an unlimited resource and refuge when we face distress: never distant, always available. By exploring and cultivating them, we can discover our intimate connection with others and the world as a whole – beyond physical distancing, beyond borders. This realization can provide us with the strength and courage to face the world’s challenges with wisdom and compassion. As expressions of a liberated mind the <\/span>Brahma Viharas<\/span><\/i> have the potential to become a gateway for liberating insight and for the mind\u2019s deliverance itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Together we will cultivate, investigate and dwell in these \u2018Immeasurable Abidings\u2019 of Benevolence, Compassion, Appreciative Joy and Equanimity in silence and speech. The powerful practice of Insight Dialogue will support us in engaging inquiry with kindness and wisdom, bringing the meditative qualities of mindfulness and stillness into our relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n
