Listen "Donald Rothberg: The Mature Heart - the Integration of the Four Brahmaviharas"

Episode Synopsis

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Preceded by a short chant by Rebekkah La Dyne, our yoga teacher for the retreat, we explore two main modes of transformation - one going into suffering, one involving beautiful states. We then focus on the latter, as expressed in the practice of the Brahmaviharas, the cultivation of lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity - examining their near and far enemies, and how the four interpret each other in the mature heart.
