The Four Divine Abidings are practices to dissolve mental afflictions and create mental balance.
Loving-Kindness (Metta) is a prayer, aspiration, and wishing for genuine happiness for self and other.
Compassion (Karuna)is aspiration & prayer for beings to be free from suffering and a faith that liberation from suffering is possible.
Empathetic Joy (Mudita) is taking delight in joys, successes, virtues (needs met)in others.
Equanimity (Upeksha)is a realization that all beings wish to be happy and free from suffering which gives rise to expression of loving kindness, compassion, and joy equally for all beings you encounter.
In each class we will discuss one of the four and how you can cultivate it in difficult situations in your own life.
