PROGRAM INFORMATION
By The FREEDOM COLLECTIVE
What are the Brahmaviharas?
Translated as the “abodes of the gods”, and also known as the four sublime attitudes or the four qualities of the heart: lovingkindness,
compassion,
joy, and
equanimity.
While taught from the Buddhist lens, these qualities are revered and practiced through many spiritual lineages, and probably all that believe in the interconnectedness of all beings.
