The Four Immeasurables

Karuna... Breathe in the sorrow of all who are in pain, yet do not own it as "my pain." Mudita... Breathe forth the joy of all who rejoice, as if it were your own joy. Maitri... Taste the un-created nectar of pure love flowing through the core of every creature, yet call no one "my love." Upeksha... Repose softly, lightly in the broken heart of the universe, where sorrow is as sacred as happiness. Come home to the mystery of the bliss of silence. You won't be able to describe these feelings to anyone. That is why Buddha called them, The Four Immeasurables. Yet surely, someone will see the rainbow shining through your tears.
