Emptiness, equanimity and kindness. Zoom, April 2020
Emptiness, Equanimity and Kindness: When many people are suffering our hearts go out to them and we wish them well. This quality of kindness is vital to extend our connectivity beyond the people of our personal concern. However from the buddhist point of view the power of kindness is greatly increased by merging it with the wisdom of emptiness.
Buddhist teaching given by James Low on 9/4/20 at the request of the Kamalashila Institute in Langenfeld, Germany. He had planned to lead a teaching retreat there however because of the coronavirus it was cancelled. Transcribed by Marijke Acket.
