The Protection of Open-Hearted Seeing (Equanimity)

Dec 12, 2024

The ‘far-reaching’ attitude of open-hearted seeing (equanimity) is a mind that holds or knows wisdom without wavering. As we practice and deepen into open-hearted seeing, we become increasingly attuned and sensitive to what is going on in and around us, while remaining steady, dispassionate, balanced and unaffected with and within it.

The focus for Days 81-90 of the 100 Days of Care is the ‘far-reaching’ attitude of Open-Hearted Seeing (more often called Equanimity) (Upekkha Parami).

These instructions for practice were given at Stream Yoga + Meditation on December 11, 2024.
