ELECTION SERIES
Love and Equanimity in Action
with Sharon Salzberg
Join Sharon Salzberg for a three-part series exploring the applications of the Brahma Viharas in Election Season. In the Buddhist framework, the Brahma Viharas (lovingkindness, compassion, equanimity, and sympathetic joy), known as the four immeasurables, are boundless states within each of us. They are powerful tools by which we can navigate and engage in turbulent times such as Election Season with balanced heartfulness and clear agency to make positive changes in the world. With 50 years of experience in Buddhist teachings, Sharon offers an approach to engaged civic duty that is much needed in our time.
