In the Buddhist teaching of love, there are four elements. The first is maitri–friendship, brotherhood, loving-kindness. And the second is karuna–capacity to understand the suffering and help remove and transform it–compassion. Mudita is the third element–joy–your joy is her joy, her joy is our joy. The last element is upeksha–nondiscrimination. This is a higher form of love. The four qualities have no limits–infinite love–these elements are also called the Four Unlimited Minds. Betterlisten is pleased to compile some of Thich Nhat Hanh's best lectures into this bundle!
