The Power of Equanimity and Compassion
Equanimity and compassion are essential qualities in Buddhism. Equanimity allows for a balanced and open mindset that can hold everything without reactive judgments. Compassion arises when we come close to suffering and respond with warmth and connectedness. Equanimity and compassion work together to cultivate resilience and responsiveness to the pain and challenges of ourselves and others. They promote a sense of inner beauty and help us listen more deeply to each other's pain, fostering a more compassionate and empathetic society.
