Leigh Brasington – How to practice the Brahma Vihāras

In October 2025 London Insight Meditation hosted Leigh Brasington for an online workshop on what the suttas (Buddhist texts) actually say about the four Brahma vihāra practices of loving-kindness (mettā), compassion (karuṇā), sympathetic joy (muditā), and equanimity (upekkhā).

In this third lecture Leigh explores what the suttas say about how to practice the brahma vihāras.
