Four Limitless States of Mind (apramana, si wuliangxin): The four states of Brahman or four immeasurables are limitless loving kindness toward all beings (maitri), limitless compassion toward all beings who are suffering (karuna), limitless sympathetic joy over the success and happiness of others (mudita), and limitless equanimity toward friend and foe (upeksha). One of the “wholesome dharmas” that produces good “karma.”

See; SEVEN JEWELS.
