Sympathetic Joy (In Pali, known as Mudita) is one of the Four Brahma Viharas (Devine Abodes) as taught by the Buddha. Being happy for someone else’s happiness is one of the four highest qualities of the heart. When we can intentionally, practice being joyful for others, the intention eventually becomes our natural state of mind and we experience fewer sufferings.
