TO THOSE WHO DON'T WANT THEIR WORK PROMOTED
Hey guys and gals! We FIND and PROMOTE people's work, we never take credit for things we haven't written, we just love sharing the things that are interesting, but if you don't want your work or pictures shown, please let me know and I'll take it off, we're not trying to harm any one here or infringe on anyone's copyrights, just late night entertainment for my friends and I after a long days of work.
We're not making money off the site, nor are we publishing anything to other places through feedburner claiming that it's our work, just a hobby of finding cool things around the internet, that's all. Sometimes we copy and paste too quickly and a link giving you credit doesn't appear, if that's the case and you DO want your work promoted, we will add in the backlink, we would love to give credit where credit is due!
Please contact me or drop a comment on any posts you guys don't want up and I'll take it off within 24 hours, thanks!
Friends on the way to freedom
The boundless states or brahmaviharas are considered friends on the way to Nirvana. They help in dissolving the idea of a separate self.
- Loving kindness
- Compassion
- Sympathetic Joy
- Equanimity
Near enemy is a quality that can masquerade as the original, but is not the original. Far enemy is the clearly opposite quality. The boundless state serves as an antidote for the quality mentioned as the far enemy.
| Pali | English | Description | Near Enemy | Far Enemy |
| metta | loving kindness | good-will, friendship, unconditional love for all beings | selfish love | hatred |
| karuna | compassion | empathy, to feel with someone instead of for someone | pity | cruelty |
| mudita | sympathetic joy | spontaneous joy in response to others success | hypocrisy | envy |
| upekkha | equanimity | even-mindedness based on insight into the nature of things | indifference | anxiety |
