When we have a feeling of spaciousness and ease that’s not caught up in preference or prejudice, this is equanimity. We can wish for ourselves and our loved ones to dwell in that sense of freedom. Then we extend that aspiration to our friend and to neutral persons and to our enemy. We then have the aspiration that all five of us could dwell in equanimity. Finally we can extend the aspiration to all beings in time and space. “May all beings dwell in the great equanimity, free from passion, aggression, and prejudice.”
