2021.10.02 | Loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity are known as the Four Divine Abidings (brahmaviharas). They are meditation objects that we can use to bring our minds to samadhi. Loving-kindness is also one of the protective meditations. With a heart of loving-kindness, we are naturally well-established in the first precept and do not wish harm to others.
