For this month’s regular open-audience, open-discussion “Ask Us Anything” — continuing discussions about meditation and related topics — Denny and I talk about caring for caregivers. Topics, not necessarily in order, include:
- The Four Brahmaviharas, translated as The Four Immeasurables, Divine Abodes, or Sublime Abidings
- Loving-Kindness
- Compassion
- Empathy/Sympathetic Joy/Altruistic Joy/Vicarious Joy/Rejoicing
- Equanimity
- [also see the Integrating Presence post Inclusive Compassion Practice (as not to neglect the other Bhramaviharas, or Sublime Abidings)]
- Compassion fatigue
- Denny’s caregiving journey with his father diagnosed with dementia
- My experiences with my late grandmother and dementia
- Pain vs Suffering
- Survival instinct and survival programming
- Spiritual practice as care for caregivers
- “Buddhism” as misrepresentative Western term
- Dhamma
- Mindfulness and how it’s like holding the hand of a child while crossing the street
- Four Noble Truths
- Five Hinderances
- Death as one of the Five Daily Reflections
