Equanimity: The Unshakeable Mind
Evening talk by Senior Tergar Instructor Edwin Kelley on gaining wisdom and balance through fully engaging with the way things are.
Equanimity brings wisdom and balance. It is a quality that allows us to live beyond the limitation of likes and dislikes and brings us to true acceptance of the way things are. Equanimity together with loving-kindness, compassion and joy are called The Four Immeasurables. Together they open our hearts with wisdom to the world around us. During this evening we will explore what nurtures the wisdom of non reactivity and broadens love, compassion and joy to their limitless potential.
These evenings include a period of meditation, a time to share informally with the community, a short talk by the instructor and a period of open discussion on how we are working with these aspects of our lives. The evening is open to all, beginners and experienced meditators alike, and is a great opportunity for us to delve deeper as a community into the richness of bringing meditation into our everyday lives.
