Equanimity, and the unique form of happiness that accompanies it, is considered one of the most important qualities of mind and heart in Buddhist practice. It is frequently misunderstood. And how to be Equanimous can sometimes seem confusing or beyond our skill or capacity. Understanding how to cultivate a realistic, practical form of Equanimity seems like something that could help all of us given the conditions in our country and the world.

Join us this evening to examine these questions:

What are the characteristics and qualities of Equanimity? And Equanimous Happiness?

Why is this quality of mind and heart considered so valuable in meditation, daily life and relationships?

In what ways does Equanimity differ from, and is related to, the other three “higher emotions” of Loving Kindness, Compassion and Sympathetic Joy?

How do we develop Equanimity as a readily available resource for dealing with the challenges of life?

You might want to review the essay on SIM’s website entitled “The Practice of Equanimity – The Balanced Embrace of All Experience.” This basic essay will serve as a jumping off point for our exploration on Thursday evening.
