How to send Metta,Karunā, Muditā and Upekkhā by Ashin Janakabhivamsa New How to send Upekkhā Upekkhā is equanimity, which is viewing rightly and having no partiality. Let us define "to view rightly". For instance, a person is in trouble and you do everything you can and you know that he he is not going to be relieved from his trouble. Then you view the situation as the result of his or her past and present kamma. Now you are viewing the case rightly. Therefore to send Upekkhā is to reflect, "ones's only asset is kamma whether good or bad; it determines the consequences, the pleasant or miserable." The main concept is that even if you sincerely wish someone to be rich, his past and present kamma is the real deciding factor; similarly even if you feel sincere and pity for a person, only his kamma will save him from his troubles. Irrespective of your sympathetic joy and equanimity, his own fate is sculptured by his kamma. Hence, let his kamma be his asset (Kammasakā) and not your worry.
