Brahma Vihara: Equanimity

So today we come to the fourth brahmavihāra. The fourth state of being is equanimity. The Pali word is upekkhā. And upekkhā literally means to have an overview of something. So to have the ability to see the big picture. The Buddha gives the analogy of sitting on a hill, above a town and looking down at the hustle and bustle of the town. And having this overview that allows for certain non reactivity, non agitation of the mind. To have peacefulness of the mind. That is what equanimity is.
