Brahma Vihara: Equanimity (Upekkha)

This is the fourth talk on the Brahma Viharas. We began with loving kindness, metta, the quality of the heart that when cultivated is expressed as friendliness and well wishing. Then we looked at compassion, karuna, the ability to meet suffering with care, to care about the difficulty that is inherent in life. Last week we explored the natural expression of joy and today the last of these divine qualities, equanimity, Upekkha in the Pali.

Equanimity is the ground of all the other three. The felt experience of equanimity, is of balance. It has been described as balance born of wisdom.
