Talk On Mudita Or Appreciative Joy (Day 9 Of A Silent Meditation Retreat In Sept 2019, Australia )

This is a talk about mudita or the meditative development of appreciative joy. It is also called empathetic joy and sympathetic joy. The talk describes joy and happiness then elaborates appreciative joy as one of the four divine abodes, which is a set of Buddhist meditation practices. It also refers to shifting negative bias to positive bias. It is generally about waking up to joy and using that to heal the pain from the past.
