The four divine mindstates that we humans can be in are Loving Kindness (Metta), Compassion (Karuna), Altruistic Joy (Mudita), and Equanimity (Upekkha). While the first three are somewhat easy to grasp, the final one is a little obscure. In this session, Cristof brings light into the darkness.

Last week, we started learning about the “Four Divine Abodes” for the mind. The first one is unconditional love, which doesn’t expect anything in return. This week, we look at the other three: compassion, joy, and equanimity.
