Meditating on the Four Immeasurables

Ken McLeod presents a practical and experiential approach to the four immeasurables—equanimity, loving-kindness, compassion, and joy—drawing from multiple Buddhist traditions. Through guided meditations, deep inquiry, and lively exchanges with students, each session explores how these qualities emerge when we turn toward experience instead of away from it. These teachings invite a shift in how we meet ourselves and others, revealing the transformative power of an open and present heart.

This is an excerpted version of the series, Four Immeasurables.  It focuses on the core contemplative practices—equanimity, loving-kindness, compassion, and joy—offering a direct, practice-centred entry into the teachings. The opening class provides broader context about the role of the four immeasurables in Buddhist practice, while the concluding class offers a wide-ranging synthesis on emotional transformation and integration.
