The Four Divine Abodes

In this episode you'll learn:

• What the divine abodes, or brahmavihārā, are
• How each of the four abodes—goodwill (mettā), compassion (karuṇā), empathetic joy (muditā) and equanimity (upekkhā)—work
• Why it's hard to follow the precepts when we do not develop these four qualities
• How the brahmavihārā, through an interest in others, leads to relief of suffering
• Why the brahmavihārā are not emotional excitement
• How the divine abodes lead into one another successively
• How the abodes eventually lead us into seeing things clearly
• The relationship between the brahmavihārā and our behavior
