The Emancipation of The Boundless Heart

<p><strong>&quot;The Emancipation of The Boundless Heart&quot; </strong>is a Dharma talk offered at Two Hands Sangha about what it would be like to cultivate a heart without limits. Not simply a kinder or more compassionate heart, but one that no longer decides who is worthy of our care.</p><p>In this talk, we explore the Buddha&#39;s four heart practices, known as the <em>brahmavihāras</em>. Rather than four separate qualities, we&#39;ll consider how they work together, supporting one another as we encounter suffering, happiness, hostility, and the things we cannot control.</p><p>We explore what it means to cultivate <em>appamāṇa</em>, the immeasurable or boundless heart, and discover that boundlessness doesn&#39;t mean abandoning healthy boundaries or approving of harmful behavior. It means learning to recognize where our concern for others ends and then gently training the heart to reach beyond those limits.</p><p>I hope you find this one useful and enjoyable! </p>
