The four immeasurables can be cultivated endlessly, which is why I like them. No matter what, you can always cultivate these virtues.

[...] my morning wake up is another way to bring meditation into my day, much like the prayers I regularly bring to mind. My clock plays dvd music as the wake-up alarm. I wake to music and familiar prayers in [...]

Dear Mahala,
I recite the four immeasuribles everyday, throughout the day and on the cushion (a garden chair in the yard). They are beautiful.
P.S. I love your blog! All the best with your projects, may you be happy, may you be well.

Equanimity is the calmness of mind we need every day to be happy and share

I do have a hard time setting time apart for meditation. I think the reason is I normally think to do it when I’m either falling asleep or just waking up. I am more likely to fall asleep than make this meditation time meaningful. So, I find that rather than sitting still, I meditate when I run. I focus on my feelings, the weather, etc. It does give me peace of mind.
This prayer is just lovely. Thank you!

Tracy ~ I actually think I could challenge you on being the worst (most-resistant, least-practicing) meditation student in the history of meditation. Why do you think I keep referring to meditation beyond the cushion? But it's true we need to take our practice into the world. And that counts! Metta is lovely and has a real resonance with the 4 Immeasurables. So beautiful you practice it out in the world and remember to say it for yourself. Hazel ~ I love reciting the refuge prayer, too. But my tibetan (language) has gotten a little rusty on them . Realized the other day I wanted to pull out my taped recording so I can memorize them again. Thanks for the Title Love.
