Most traditions of Buddhism agree on one thing, namely that you want to achieve a state of equanimity through your practice.
However, people do NOT agree at all about what equanimity even means!
To various people it means various different things and more often than not, people explain it as a type of pleasure.
However, that is NOT how the Suttas portray it.
Equanimity is often viewed as pleasure or apathy.
It is neither and more of a state of being unburdened or healthy.
You are relieved to know the way out of suffering.
Upekkha is no magical sublime pleasure -- it is a healthy state of mind at all times that you reach through a lifestyle-practice of non-craving!
