This week we learn from Ajahn Brahm, what important role joy plays to prepare for meditation. How do we arouse joy on demand? Besides Ajahn Brahm’s instructions, we let His Holiness The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu inspire us.

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.
