A Public Talk on the Four Immeasurables Low quality, discontinued, only 2 copies left in stock In order to develop limitless compassion, we meditate on the four immeasurables: limitless impartiality, limitless love, limitless compassion, and limitless joy. The first immeasurable, impartiality, means caring for each and every person without any bias. The attitude of a bodhisattva is to want to help all beings find happiness and to relieve them of all their suffering. The bodhisattva doesn't believe there are some beings who want happiness and others who don't. The bodhisattva doesn't think that there are some who need to be freed from suffering and others who don't need to be freed from suffering. He or she realizes that absolutely all beings need to be helped to attain happiness and all beings need to be liberated from suffering. This concern for each and every being is limitless impartiality.
Limitless love means wanting everyone to attain happiness and the causes of happiness. Limitless compassion means wanting to free everyone from suffering and the causes of suffering. A bodhisattva who has developed limitless impartiality, limitless love and limitless compassion, gives rise to the limitless joy that comes from benefiting all beings without exception.
