'''Upeksa''', also ''upekkha'' in [[Pali language|Pali]], is the [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] concept of [[wiktionary:equanimity|equanimity]]. It is one of the four [[Brahmavihara]] (sublime states), which is a subset of [[Kammatthana]]. |
|||
'''Equanimity''' is a balanced state of mind characterized by lack of strong attachments - attractions (cravings or desires) or repulsions (aversions). In equanimity one still notices and cares (even deeply) about what is going on, and has the capacity to be active rather than merely reactive. If a group of people are a storm, the equanimous people are the [[eyewall|eye]] of the storm. |
