Happiness of Heartfelt Connections – Nurturing the Four Boundless Qualities

Wai Cheong

About the Teaching

In this meditation course we will look into the contemplative practices for cultivating loving-kindness, compassion, appreciative joy and equanimity. These four qualities are known as the sublime abidings of the heart (brahmavihara in Sanskrit) as their presence in our heart and mind greatly transform our experiences and relationships with self and others. When developed, they can transcend artificial boundaries we have unconsciously placed upon ourselves and become the basis for our heartfelt connections with all aspects within ourselves as well as with other beings, which in itself is a form of happiness and contentment.

All are welcome; no prerequisite required.

Each session consists of a mixture of explanations, guided meditations and time for discussion or Q&A.

Wai Cheong

Wai Cheong Kok is from Singapore. He has been teaching meditation and Buddhism since 1996, with a special interest in making available the benefits of meditation to a wider audience. From 2006-2015 and starting from 2020, he has served as a senior teacher at Vajrayana Institute, a Tibetan Buddhist Centre affiliated to the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT). After studying Dharma for several years, Wai Cheong set out to deepen his understanding of spiritual practice by completing the first 7-year Masters program in Advanced Buddhist Studies of Sutra and Tantra at Istituto Lama Tsong Khapa in Italy from 1998-2004. This was followed by a four month solitary retreat in New Zealand.
