As usual, we will begin with meditation, and a reading of The Metta Suta (page vii). We will then begin Chapter 9, **The Gift of Equanimity**, on page 115.

Discussions are rich and deep; we allow plenty of time to mine the gold in these pages.

This text is based on **The Four Immeasurables of Love, Compassion, Empathetic Joy and Equanimity,** which are the qualities of enlightenment that we aspire to accomplish through study, reflection and practice. Each week we will begin our sessions with an aspiration prayer and the Metta Suta before discussing the text.

We are the Buddhist Meditation and Study Group. Our community celebrates insight, debate, analysis, fun, and laughter. Some of us have been practicing for 20 years and others are brand new to Buddhist teachings. We love beginners. Feel free to sign in early to enjoy some social time with our Sangha. Through our lively discussions we seek to unpack the nature of reality through the Buddhist perspective. We value your presence and any contributions you may offer. Hope to see you on Thursday!
