Apramanas: Practicing the four immeasurables

By Shenpen Hookham

Apramana means measureless or limitless and refers to theBuddha qualities of limitless love, compassion, sympathetic joy and equalness. The Buddha is described as having completely equal love and compassion for all beings, wishing them all the highest joy of complete Awakening. This is a state that only a Buddha knows, so although others may seem to have equal and limitless love and compassion for all beings, they do not really know what the highest joy is and so cannot wish it fully for others. Thus only a Buddha can truly rest in the Apramanas. The rest of us are training in order to do so.This is a small booklet to support students on the living the Awakened Heart training engage in this profound meditation practice.
