5 Great Meditations
The first meditation is the meditation of love, in which you so adjust your heart that you long for the well being and welfare of all beings, including the happiness of your enemies.
The second meditation is the meditation of pity, in which you think of all beings in distress, vividly representing in your imagination their sorrows and anxieties so as to arouse a deep compassion for them in your soul.
The third meditation is the meditation of joy, in which you think of the prosperity of others, and rejoice with their rejoicings.
The fourth meditation is the meditation of impurity, in which you consider the evil consequences of corruption, the effects of sin and disease. How trivial often the pleasure of the moment, and how fatal its consequences.
The fifth meditation is the meditation on serenity, in which you rise above love and hate, tyranny and oppression, wealth and want, and regard your own fate with impartial calmness and perfect tranquility.
