Today we also finished the basic cycle of the Four Inmeasurables with another practice of equanimity.

We first get an introduction to the sheer importance of the practices of Four Inmeasurables (and how they not only are tremendously beneficial practices in themselves but also how they are the “golden ground” for cultivating Bodihchitta) and brief instructions for Tonglen. We then proceed to a practice of equanimity with Tonglen mixed in, and end with some good assorted Questions and Answers (Q&A).
