There are five meditations;
- The first is meditation of love, in which u must so adjust ur heart, that u long for the weal and welfare of all beings, including the happiness of ur enemies.
- The second is the meditation of pity, in which u think of all beings in distress, vividly representing their sorrows and anxieties in ur imagination so as to arouse a deep compassion for them in ur soul.
- The third is the meditation of joy, in which u think of the prosperity of others and rejoice at the rejoicings.
- The fourth is the meditation on impurity, in which u consider the evil consequences of corruption, the effects of sin and diseases. How trival often the pleasure of the moment and how fatal its consequences.
- The fifth is the meditation on serenity, in which u rise about love and hate, tyranny and oppression, wealth and want, and regard ur own fate with impartial calmness and perfect tranquility.
