Boundless Heart Book Group

6 Tuesdays:
January 24-February 28
4-5 PM

In person and via Zoom

Facilitated by Marilyn Raffensperger and Ellen Sagmyr

Join us in studying Boundless Heart: The Buddha’s Path of Kindness, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity by Christina Feldman. Learn about the four divine abodes of compassion, kindness, joy, and equanimity and how they complement each other and can be infused into your life and the world at large.

From the book: Compassion, kindness, equanimity, and joy are not only the fruits of the awakened life but also the path to it—attitudes of mind that can be cultivated through intention and dedication. Also known as the brahma viharas (sublime abodes) and the “Four Immeasurables,” these enobling qualities are far more than simply the “feel-good” states they are often mistaken for. They must be pursued sincerely as a spiritual practice—not just as a means of getting a “spiritual high”—in order to experience the full extent of their power.

We will study one chapter a week. You are welcome to stay after class for the afternoon drop-in sit as an opportunity to use the book practices in meditation. Books will be available for purchase at the BDC. No reading required for the first meeting.
