Description

In this episode we look at how to develop immeasurable equanimity, which is an even-minded love for all living beings. The mind of equanimity is free from attachment to some and aversion to others. It is said that on the ground of equanimity, we pour the waters of love, sow the seeds of compassion, and we will reap a bountiful harvest of enlightenment.   "Neither father nor mother, Nor any relative can do One as much good, As one’s own well-directed mind."             --Buddha (The Dhammapada, Verse 43) References: The Dhammapada, by Buddha. Translated by Gil Fronsdale. Shambala, Boston and London, 2011, pp. 9. Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, by Je Tsongkhapa, Volume 1. Pages 281-282.
