Brahma Viharas Exalted Mind States July 26 2018

This is a live stream and recording of our Thursday evening Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on July 26, 2018. The stream begins every Thursday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.

My Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the the Brahma Viharas. There are four exalted states of mind taught by the Buddha. These are perfected mind-states that reflect an enlightened view of humanity.

"Friends, when one dwells continuously with their heart filled with equanimity, pervading the entire world, they are abundant, they have grown great, their love is measureless and they are free from enmity and distress.”
