How to Develop Mudita Sympathetic Joy | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhamma Talk
Manage episode 447890063 series 3403187
Prompted by a question from the audience, Ajahn Dhammasiha shares reflections on the theme of developing Sympathetic Joy (Muditā).
Muditā is on of the four Divine Abodes (Brahma-vihāra), together with loving kindness, compassion and equanimity.
Sympathetic Joy is the quality of rejoicing and feeling happy in other beings success.
It's the very opposite of envy and jealousy.
Ajahn suggests a similar approach as in developing mettā: We imagine someone we really like anyhow, and then remember some wholesome achievement they accomplished.
Next we use a mantra like formula, like for instance:
"May you enjoy all your success!" or similar.
We continue till we can really feel the corresponding emotion.
However, we have to be careful that we only delight in wholesome success...
