Brahma-Viharas

I seldom talk religion here except for Buddhism. And it helps me to de-stress when I study it so onward through the fog...
Brahma-Viharas or "sublime attitudes," are the Buddha's primary heart teachings — the ones that connect most directly with our desire for true happiness.
The four Brahma Viharas are translated as the four heavenly abodes and are also called the four immeasurable minds. They are four aspects of true love; four qualities of the heart. They are also the name of a group of concentration meditation practices that can help cultivate these qualities. The Brahma Viharas include Metta (lovingkindness), Karuna (compassion), Mudita (sympathetic joy), and Upekkha (equanimity).
