about

"In the United States of Samsara, the self help/self care shit soup capitol of the world with the New Age Guru selling enlightenment for half a ham sandwich Compassion has become an industry. And business is BOOMING baby! All you gotta do is shell out a few bucks, get a nice pat from the Guru’s outstretched hand, spend three weeks on this brand new program delivered directly to your streaming device and voila, you are a Bodhisattva, buddy.

In reality, meditation is not a method to deliver you from the messiness of the world, it is the skillful means by which we enter directly into this miraculous messiness with a clear heart and a lucid, boundless mind. This doesn’t happen by accident. Like anything that is worthwhile, it requires practice. Not just daily practice, but moment by moment practice. It is not a method to make us more comfortable. It is a tool that can help us discern which discomforts are worthwhile to endure.

The four immeasurables are a series of meditative practices that are intended to cultivate Equanimity, Love, Compassion and Joy. To drive away our most persistent, pernicious and painful illusion: that we are static, separate selves. To believe this is to be the coal that has rolled away from the fire. To know that there is no distinction and that all beings are tightly bound together is to be truly liberated. It is our sincere hope that this album helps guide you through the sticky, perilous passageways of compassion, sympathetic joy, loving kindess and equanimity. May you and all beings have good health, experience deep, true, lasting peace and receive the precious Gift of Joy!"
