• Ven. Thubten Chodron : I remember, in my first meditation course, sitting and trying to think if I had ever done one action without self-concern. It was very difficult to find. I think I maybe found one in my whole life.

  Ven. Ajahn Amaro : Well done.

• Ven. Ajahn Amaro : That is, meditation techniques to develop what they call the Four Divine States. Which is basically the maturation of the emotional world. The way in which we relate to other human beings. We can build around kindness, compassion, around what they call Sympathetic Joy, or Mudita, which means Happiness at the Good Fortune of Others. A very rare commodity.
