Tending the Garden of the Heart in Springtime
Practising the Brahma Viharas as a path to insight
The Brahma Viharas, or the development loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity are a path to insight and transformation of the heart. We will explore these qualities and how we can bring them more into our lives. We will connect with each of the four Brahma-Viharas through meditation, talks, discussion, and devotional practice. And of course, as always, we will practice together in the spirit of Sangha and spiritual friendship.
Led by Sudaya with Amitasraddha, Shantidevi, Carunetra and Gambhiraja
Suitable for women that are familiar with our meditation practices.
