2009-03-25 Cultivating Mudita (Appreciative Joy) pt I 49:16
Donald Rothberg
We explore the practice of Mudita in the context of the other three Brahmaviharaas; seeing how it goes again both self-centered joy and tendencies to focus on problems or what is "wrong" in a situation. There is some guidance in the formal mudita practice, as well as more general cultivation of joy.
