64. The Training Process of the Four Immeasurables

Meditation Guide

The Beginning

Take refuge and arouse bodhichitta.

The Main Part

When meditating on the Four Immeasurables, begin in the order of love, compassion, joy, and impartiality; then in the reverse order... Moment by moment, you meditate diligently without investing things with true existence.

Reminder

Try to alternate your meditation topics in succession... In fact, the mind is malleable. Our problem is lack of training... With sustained practice, the mind will gradually reshape itself, and in time your thoughts will mainly be the concern for others.

The Ending

Dedicate the merit of your practice to all sentient beings.
