What:
Developing a Kind
Heart – A series that will open the heart and bring balance in relationships
This series will nurture the development of four profound
qualities of heart: loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. These
four qualities express a powerful and immeasurable intention of kindness toward
ourselves and all beings. They are traditionally called the Divine Abodes (Brahma
Viharas) or dwellings of the gods. When these qualities are well developed the
heart-mind will be liberated from ill will, cruelty, envy, expectation and
demand—one will dwell with a pure “divine” perception of all things.
Everyone is welcome. No registration is required. Chairs
are provided, but bring a sitting mat and cushion if you prefer to sit on the
floor; it is not carpeted.

IMSB relies entirely upon the generosity of participants
to support our teachers and cover organizational expenses. Dana is a word in
the ancient Pali language that describes donations, offerings and generosity.
Two bowls will be available at an event to practice dana for the teacher and
IMSB; we encourage you to give joyfully and generously, according to your
resources and means. IMSB is a 501(c) (3) organization. All donations are tax
deductible as permitted by law.
