Reflection and Practice

Pick one of the paramis to explore: Generosity, Ethics, Renunciation, Wisdom, Energy, Patience, Truthfulness, Resolve, Lovingkindness, Equanimity. Can you see any distortions that arise from trying to adopt this parami, such as projecting a false self-image? How do mindfulness, investigation, and wise view support seeing and understanding?

Reflection and Practice

Practice with this equanimity phrase, both in meditation and daily life:

All beings are the owners of their karma. Their happiness or unhappiness depends upon their actions and not upon my wishes for them.

How does this inform lovingkindness, compassion, and sympathetic joy? Can those qualities be present at the same time as equanimity?
