https://shantidevanyc.org/jennings-oct26/A truly kind heart already exists in each and every one of us. It’s just a matter of learning how to bring it out and expand it so that we can feel it more often and for more beings. In this intensive course of study and practice, Venerable Sangye Khadro teaches and leads students in discussions and meditations on the four immeasurables: love, compassion, joy, and equanimity. When we experience anger, jealousy, and pride, they can compromise our good intentions and create the conditions for unskillful reactivity. These obscurations can be identified and eliminated, allowing the true, pure nature of our mind to be revealed, which has the potential to experience boundless compassion.
