(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) After some comments on the relationships among the Brahmaviharas and how an understanding of non-self supports the natural expression of the Brahmaviharas, we practice mudita with respect to several categories of beings. This session ends with a brief Q&A.

(Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge) Equanimity and the Brahma-viharas balance each other and bring about their full expression.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the complexities of human relationships? You're not alone. In a world filled with challenges, the Brahmaviharas offer us a lifeline—four divine abodes that can transform our interactions and elevate our spirits. In the latest episode of the Death Dhamma podcast, host Margaret Meloni invites us on a journey through the heart of compassion. She illuminates the path of Metta, Karuna, Mudita, and Upeka—concepts that aren't just philosophical; they're practical tools for navigating the stormy seas of modern life.

This episode is the second half of the seventh chapter of my book-in-progress, The Ten Fields of Zen: A Primer for Practitioners. Listen to/read the previous episode (288) first, where I talk about the importance of Opening Your Heart and how that effort is viewed in the Buddhist tradition. In that episode I also discussed the four Brahmaviharas – goodwill, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. I finish the chapter in this episode by covering self-acceptance, practicing with the real, human relationships in your life, and Opening Your Heart in Sangha.

(Karunahaus) Gleichmut ist eines von vier Brahmaviharas und einer der sieben Erwachensfaktoren. Er ist die innere Stabilität und Unerschütterlichkeit, die sich von äusseren Bedingungen nicht aus dem Gleichgewicht bringen lässt, und er ist die Fähigkeit, selbst in stürmischen Zeiten inneren Frieden zu finden. Gleichmut hilft uns, soziale Beziehungen harmonischer zu gestalten und Situationen, die wir nicht kontrollieren können, zu akzeptieren.

12/14/2024, Zenki Mary Mocine, dharma talk at City Center. Zenki Mary Mocine asks: How should we practice with dis-ease, fear and even anger? Remember your connection with and compassion for all beings, including yourself.

Their happiness or unhappiness depends upon their actions and not upon my wishes for them. How does this inform lovingkindness, compassion, and sympathetic joy? Can those qualities be present at the same time as equanimity? This recording was edited and prepared for publication by volunteer Jim Matthews. 

The Brahma Viharas or Heavenly Abodes, have been likened to a magnificent tree. The deep, far ranging roots and sturdy resilient trunk are Metta; the open arms of the branches rising up out of the fullness of Metta are Compassion and Sympathetic Joy; the tree as a whole reflects the deep peace of Equanimity. The Brahma Viharas tree provides a Heavenly Abode for the creatures who live within its realm. Come and sit for a while with Sanghagita in the shade of the tree and explore how it is possible for us to live in heaven on earth.

10/05/2024, Shosan Victoria Austin, dharma talk at City Center. This dharma talk was given at Beginner's Mind Temple by Shosan Victoria Austin. When we are challenged by anger, it's easy to react and difficult to respond. How might Zen practices of giving, tolerance and enthusiasm help us let go of relational barriers, transforming them into gateways to increased intimacy? In times of conflict and unwanted change, what tools might the tradition offer to refresh our deeper intention? What do we need to remember and to do, to nourish ourselves, the other, and the space of trust that we share?

On the latest episode of the podcast we are discussing burnout and mindfulness with the founder of Tokyo Mindfulness, Misha Yurchenko. Misha has some amazing insights to share with you all about the pattern of burnout he experienced repeatedly in his work life, and how he broke this pattern. Many people can still experience burnout or stress after finding their ikigai, so this conversation is an important reminder that part of ikigai is having room in your mind. Listen to the episode to hear more about how to make this room and break those destructive work patterns!If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway. In this episode you'll hear:Misha's formula for what suffering is and how to lower it in your lifeAbout Misha's experience of burnout whilst running a startupHow the quality of the hours you work can affect you more than the quantityThe importance of taking ‘proper' breaks and holidaysHow Misha made changes in his life to stop the patterns that led to burnoutAbout Misha:Misha Yurchenko is a Tokyo-based certified meditation teacher with over ten years of meditation experience. He has attended retreats worldwide, practicing a range of techniques. His primary practices today are samatha-vipassana and the Brahmaviharas in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.After experiencing extreme burnout from his venture-funded startup, he retreated to the mountains for a month of meditation. He later founded Tokyo Mindfulness, dedicated to helping others break free from their limitations.
