10 Equanimity (Upekkhā)

high-definition creative commons posters depicting 10 Equanimity (Upekkhā)based on the Great Chronicles of the Buddhas together with further information.

Equanimity means balanced neutrality between sorrow and happiness—not negligence. Development uses one mode: all beings have their deeds as their own property (kammassakā), totaling 132 methods. Equanimity is more difficult than loving-kindness because it requires impartiality toward friends, foes, and neutrals alike. It belongs to the highest absorption, indicating superiority. The Bodhisatta’s story of enduring ill-treatment while remaining unshaken exemplifies supreme equanimity perfection.
