Mudita – Sympathetic Joy | Ajahn Brahm
Manage episode 380560909 series 3408250
Answering to a request for a talk from Canada on the topic of mudita – sympathetic joy. This divine emotion forms a pair with compassion. Whereas compassion feels the suffering of others and involves having our heart go out to others to sympathize with their pain, mudita involves having our heart go out to others to feel and sympathize with their happiness and joy. Ajahn Brahm explains why and how we can develop this divine emotion of sympathetic joy.
