The Four Immeasurable Minds | TWOII podcast | Episode 88

In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss one of the Buddha's key teachings: the four immeasurable minds. When cultivated, these four qualities - love, compassion, joy, and equanimity - can help heal negative emotions and lead to a more fulfilling, compassionate life. Both hosts share personal stories and insights about how to apply these teachings, and how to help transform suffering and cultivate a deeper understanding and connection with ourselves and those around us. They emphasize the importance of self-love, deep listening, and embracing interbeing, as well as the power of small acts of kindness, the role of playfulness, the wisdom of non-discrimination in leading a more fulfilling life, and more. ------ 🔔 The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living is a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. 🔔 ------ The podcast is co-produced by the Plum Village App: https://plumvillage.app/ And Global Optimism: https://globaloptimism.com/ With support from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation: https://thichnhathanhfoundation.org/ ------ 🎧 Listen to the podcast on the (completely free) Plum Village App ➛ https://link.plumvillage.app/HaqE and other streaming services. ------ Resources: Plum Village Community ➛ https://plumvillage.org 🎙️ Brother Phap Huu ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/br-phap-huu 🎙️ Jo Confino ➛ https://www.instagram.com/joconfino/?hl=en Interbeing ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbeing Donate to support Plum Village's reconstruction ➛ https://plumvillage.org/donate The Four Immeasurable Minds ➛ https://tnhaudio.org/tag/four-immeasurable-minds/ Dharma Talk: ‘The Four Immeasurable Minds - The Four Elements of True Love’ with Sister Dieu Nghiem (Sister Jina) ➛ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKXJIdhJJHo Brahmavihara ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmavihara Sariputra ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%9A%C4%81riputra Sister Chan Khong ➛ https://plumvillage.org/about/sister-chan-khong Maitri ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maitr%C4%AB Order of Interbeing ➛ https://orderofinterbeing.org/ Trevor Noah ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Noah ‘Listening to Namo Avalokiteshvara’ ➛ https://plumvillage.app/listening-to-namo-avalokiteshvara/ Upeksha ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upeksha_(Indian_thought)
