listened again today......and  " again " gained a clearer understanding of "me" and how I tick.......Pema, helps me immensely-- I'm most grateful

The usual--brilliant, compassionate, humorous,  great dharma teacher Pema Chodron.  Wish I was there.  Thank you very much for this recording!!!

Recorded at Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, NY, May 1999.

This talk includes an overview of each of the four limitless qualities: love, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity, and an explanation of the four lines of the four limitless qualities chant. One of the key points to developing a connection to each of these qualities is training in relaxing with uncertainty, anxiety, unpredictability, and groundlessness. Another is trusting in the good heart, the buddha nature, of all beings. Such trust develops through inquisitiveness and honesty, especially with respect to our frailties, prejudices, and limitations. Four equanimity practices are introduced.
