The Brahma Viharas Illuminated
This 5-week series is given as part of the regular Sunday class in Vienna.
We know that greed, ill-will and delusion are the mental states that keep us locked in the cycle of suffering. The Brahman Viharas, or Four Divine Abodes, are positive states of mind that, when intentionally cultivated, can serve as antidotes to suffering.
Join us for this five-part series as we explore each of these positive mental states, and learn specific practices that can lead to freedom.

Insight meditation cultivates our natural wisdom and compassion. Meditation practice develops concentration, which allows us to calm and steady the mind.
