To cultivate equanimity is to cultivate a stable quality of mind that is not swayed by externalities— it is strong, peaceful, and easeful in every moment. In this talk, Zuisei says: “It’s not unfeeling, it’s not uncaring, it’s not cold or distant or even protected. It is unshakeable. It is a mind free of suffering.”

This talk is part of a series of talks on the Ten Paramitas.
