Join us for a transformative guided meditation inspired by the teachings of Bhikkhu Analayo, focusing on the Brahmaviharas—the four divine abodes of loving-kindness (metta), compassion (karuna), sympathetic joy (mudita), and equanimity (upekkha)—and the profound practice of emptiness. This session draws from Analayo’s scholarly and meditative insights, blending traditional Buddhist wisdom with practical guidance to cultivate a heart of boundless kindness and a mind attuned to the nature of impermanence and non-self. Perfect for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, this meditation invites you to explore deep states of connection and release, fostering inner peace and clarity. Tune in to nurture your practice and embrace the liberating path of the Brahmaviharas and emptiness. #Meditation #Brahmaviharas #Emptiness #Buddhism #BhikkhuAnalayo
