Upekkha

Upekkha, the practice of loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity, acknowledges that most of life is beyond our control.

It’s a karmic flowering of causes and conditions larger than ourselves.

We all churn through a full range of human experience: pain and pleasure, praise and blame, gain and loss.

Let go of attachment to things begin a certain way for ourselves and others, even as paradoxically, we continue to strive for the best.

Upkkha is a spacious stillness of the mind, a radiant calm that allows us to be present fully with all the different changing experience that constitute our world and our lives.
