Equanimity: Neutrality Towards Others

Equanimity, or upekshā in Sanskrit, is the fourth of the Four Immeasurables.

“This is not simply a feeling of indifference, devoid of pleasure or pain. Impartiality is perhaps the better translation, for it contrasts with the biased way we usually view other sentient beings…

Equanimity rounds off the other three immeasurables – loving-kindness, compassion, and empathetic joy – and brings them to a profound state of balance.”

– Dr. B. Alan Wallace, The Four Immeasurables (emphasis added)

This meditation session was featured in our second Ghatika Monthly Session with Dr. Clara Seeger.

Dr. Wallace recorded a total of 48 guided meditations with Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB), all of which can be found on the CEB Soundcloud page.
