Ep. 6 - Sutra 1.33 On the Locks & Keys, the Immeasurable Highest Attributes of the Yogi

This week we explore the “Locks & Keys”, the attributes of mind that we cultivate to preserve the innate or natural serenity of the yogi’s mind in the face of the worldly winds of material life.  These attributes are also known as the brahmaviharas in Buddhist lineages, the divine abodes or sublime attitudes of the Buddha. We will discuss how we can seek to expand our capacity for each these attitudes (listed here in Sanskrit) - maitri (friendliness or loving-kindness), karuna (compassion), mudito (sympathetic joy), upekshanam (equinimity).
