How can we make the Four Immeasurables (aka the Brahmavihārās or divine abodes) more present in our daily lives?
In this talk, Jennifer Berezan explores these four virtues—loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity—integral aspects of Buddhist practice. She emphasizes their universal relevance, encouraging us to cultivate these qualities to foster deeper connections and inner peace.

Jennifer enriches her discussion with musical interludes, using songs to embody each of the Four Immeasurables:

  1. Loving-kindness (Metta): Wishing happiness for all beings.
  2. Compassion (Karuna): Desiring freedom from suffering for everyone.
  3. Empathetic Joy (Mudita): Celebrating others' happiness.
  4. Equanimity (Upekkha): Maintaining calm and impartiality amidst life's ups and downs.

Through her music, Jennifer offers a heartfelt and accessible approach to these profound teachings, inviting listeners to integrate them into daily life.
