My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion will be on the Brahma-Vihara's. There are four exalted states of mind taught by the Buddha. These are perfected mind-states that reflect an enlightened view of humanity. In Pali these states are known as the Brahma-Vihara or perfected-abode. These are mind-states that one abides in. These states of mind animate conduct to all human beings. These are also the wise and loving response to all social interaction and will diffuse tension and conflict.

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