Four Limitless States of Mind
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Four Limitless States of Mind (apramana, si wuliangxin):
The four states of Brahman or four immeasurables are
limitless loving kindness toward all beings (maitri),
limitless compassion toward all beings who are suffering (karuna),
limitless sympathetic joy over the success and
happiness of others (mudita), and
limitless equanimity toward friend and foe (upeksha).
One of the “wholesome dharmas” that produces good “karma.”
