What Do the Suttas Actually Have to Say About the Brahma Viharas
By: Leigh Brasington
We often hear teachings on the four Brahma Viharas – Love, Compassion, Appreciative Joy, and Equanimity. But what did the Buddha actually say about these four sublime states and how to practice them? In this weekend course, we will take a close look at several of the 38 suttas that describe all four Brahma Viharas, plus additional suttas describing some of them individually. Hopefully this will give you a deeper understanding of how to weave these practices into your journey on the spiritual path.
