The Divine Abidings and an Ethical Life (Online)


The four brahmavihāra are at the heart of ethics, and ethical living becomes the embodiment of the brahmavihāra on the path to freedom. We will return to the “divine abidings” of the four brahmavihāra, the heart qualities of kindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity.

Together, we will go deeper into how they support us to live a more ethical life and how, in turn, an ethical life is an expression of a well-cultivated heart.

Every session builds on the teaching and practice from the preceding session, so this IDAP series is not offered as a drop-in meeting. In support of this, we ask all participants to register with the intention of attending the whole series in full. In this ten-session online course (meeting twice a month for 1.5 hours), through strengthening these practices both individually and together, supported by “wise attention and the voice of another,” we can directly experience the deepening freedom they offer.

Wednesday mornings 10:00-11:30 am Australia Eastern time
