2009-07-22 The Beautiful Qualities of Compassion and Equanimity 55:19
Sally Armstrong
The four Brahma Viharas are loving-kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. The foundation practice is metta, or loving-kindness, which cultivates a friendly and kind attitude towards ourselves, others and all experiences. When this caring heart meets suffering, it naturally responds with compassion. But the last Brahma Vihara, equanimity, the quality of calm acceptance, is necessary keep the heart in balance and open to all the joys and sorrows of our lives.

2009-07-22 Suttas 1 - Picking Up the Teaching 60:37
Ajahn Sucitto
A reading of excerpts from the Suttas related to how one gets encouraged to undertake the practice. 1) AN 3:65 – Kālāma Sutta; 2) MN 95 – Cankī Sutta; and, 3) MN 70 – Kīṭāgiri Sutta. Some common threads are qualities of self-questioning, questioning one’s motivation, knowing what’s reliable, knowing how to test it out.
