Healing Emotions

Using contemplation and meditation on the Four Immeasurables as a remedy to our negative emotions

Genuine compassion possesses four qualities or ingredients: love, compassion, joy and equanimity. Love is wishing that sentient beings posses both happiness and its causes, and is the antidote to anger and hatred. Compassion is wishing that sentient beings be free from suffering and its causes, and is the antidote to passion and attachment. Joy is wishing that sentient beings never be apart from happiness, and is the antidote to envy and jealousy. Equanimity is wishing that sentient beings be free from attachment and aversion, and is the antidote to ignorance, pride and prejudice.

These four qualities of the heart are what we try to increase and make more unlimited. When they are developed to their greatest extent, they become what are known as the four immeasurables.
