[dasenergi]

In Buddhism we have the concept of "Sympathetic Joy" or Muditā.

Muditā is one of the four Brahmavihārās, which are the sublime attitudes or emotions that cultivate wholesome qualities of heart and mind. The other three Brahmavihārās are mettā (loving-kindness), karunā (compassion), and upekkhā (equanimity).

Muditā specifically refers to the ability to take joy or delight in the happiness and success of others.

It involves transcending feelings of envy, jealousy, and competitiveness and instead experiencing genuine happiness for others' well-being and accomplishments.

In Buddhism, muditā is not only about feeling happy for others but also about actively cultivating and nurturing this empathetic joy. It is considered a powerful antidote to negative emotions and is a way to counteract the ego-driven tendencies that can lead to suffering.

By celebrating the happiness of others, individuals can create a positive cycle of interconnectedness and contribute to their own well-being as well as the well-being of those around them.

· Cultivate awareness of your own feelings when encountering the success or happiness of others. If you notice feelings of envy or jealousy, acknowledge them without judgment.

· Actively shift your perspective to focus on the positive aspects of someone else's success or happiness. Recognize the interconnectedness of all beings and how their joy contributes to the greater well-being of the world.

Practicing muditā can lead to increased feelings of contentment, reduced negativity, and enhanced compassion.

“Through cultivation of friendliness (मैत्री maitrī), compassion (करुण karuṇa), joy (: मुदित mudita), and indifference (उपेक्षा upekṣā) to pleasure and pain, virtue and vice respectively, the consciousness becomes favourably disposed, serene and benevolent.”

Seeing Possibility in Suffering Being intolerant of suffering, in the Buddhist sense, does not mean that we reject it or fight against it. It means that we stop and look at it, not morbidly, but with faith in the possibility of living a joyful and peaceful life. — Gil Fronsdal, "Living Two Traditions" (Photo: Lake Tahoe, California, May 2014) #Satipațțhāna #Maitri #Metta #Karuna #Mudita #Upekkha https://www.instagram.com/p/ClWJkMNrqLp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Personal Background: Path

My full-time training began when, in 2007, I was accepted into the Shamatha Project – a three-month meditation retreat that served as the first rigorous, long-term scientific study of meditation – led by my teacher, Dr. B. Alan Wallace. (You can read more about the Shamatha Project here. You can also read the many scientific papers that have been published from it here.)After the conclusion of the study, Alan offered myself, and a few other practitioners, the opportunity to continue meditating full-time under his guidance, which is what I've done ever since. I've also been extremely blessed to have received personal guidance from H.E. Garchen Rinpoche, Ven Gyatrul Rinpoche, and H.H. Sakya Trizin Rinpoche – as well as attend teachings with H.H. The Dalai Lama, and Yangthang Rinpoche.

Different Standards

As a student of mental training at the best academic department in the country, I saw first-hand the difference that mind-training can make: People who work diligently to master it see results. I have seen such people alter the landscape of belief, as a result of pouring all their time and energy into testing the limits of human potential, in their given field. Some of them have been contemplatives. Some of them have been elite athletes, consultants, or business people living in modern society. However, in modern western culture, mental training is a field that is still in its infancy. The more I studied contemplative practice, the more clearly I could see how advanced it was, in comparison.By the time I was in graduate school, a number of yogis in Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal – who'd dedicated the entirety of their lives to high-level mental training – were collaborating with researchers. For decades, these kinds of individuals have been sought out by scientists – especially those scientists seeking to understand how mental training works, how trainable the mind might be, and what the connection is between mind and brain.

I'd like to become like them

These "Olympic-level Meditators" have had a significant impact on a number of fields – everything from the psychology of emotion, to our understanding of the benefits of altruism and compassion. Through investigating the mind, they have also come to conclusions about the nature of reality that parallel cutting-edge innovations in modern physics – a fact that seems inexplicable to many.As a result of their unparalleled performance on a number of laboratory measures, some of these meditators have been named "Happiest Person in the World.” This is a half-serious title – and it's been rejected by the meditators themselves – but I feel it's had a serious effect on the lives of modern people. Maybe a more serious effect than titles like "Fastest Person in the World," or, "Greatest Basketball Player in the World.” (Sorry LeBron.)

The value of meditation – and a sense of necessity around taking care of our minds – are becoming mainstream ideas, partially due to the incredible accomplishments of these professional meditators.

I may never be as skilled as they are, but I have a rare opportunity to contribute through collaboration with science, because throughout the course of my practice, a large amount of scientific data has been collected on me – starting when I had just a couple hundred hours of meditation training. During the Shamatha Project, researchers took everything from my blood and saliva, to EEG and cognitive measures.Until now, many in the scientific community have wondered whether these amazing meditators were just born different from the rest of us. The notion that the mind (and, as a result, the brain) can be trained to that extent, by anyone, is such a new concept that a lot of researchers refuse to believe it's true. If I'm able to make genuine progress on the path, I may be able to help prove the doubters wrong, in the process.

My hope is that this aspect of my life may eventually, in some small way, make an anonymous contribution to our culture's understanding of what advanced meditation training has to offer – while at the same time helping to preserve some of the world's most well-developed systems of mental training.

Fundamentals

Making genuine progress in these methods is the kind of work that moves slowly, in total immersion, over decades of effort – often through unexpected obstacles. Success requires levels of contentment, simplicity of lifestyle, and freedom from compulsive thought that are essentially unheard-of in the modern world. The methods themselves are also incredibly difficult – and require an unbroken continuity, which is often likened to rubbing sticks together to make a fire: If you keep stopping, the sticks won't get hot, and you'll never get fire.

That kind of continuity can be difficult to maintain in the midst of factors like financial and situational uncertainty. Traditionally, meditators working with these methods, on a professional basis, always had the full support and understanding of their societies. In my case, I have neither – nearly everything I'm doing goes against the stream of modern culture.Beyond that, I have no real talent in these methods – but I've seen what happens, again and again, when untalented people give themselves entirely to something, and don't give up. I've seen this in my own life, as well as in others lives, in all kinds of disciplines.I've gotten a lot out of the years I've spent in full-time mind-training. I've also clearly seen how the path can progress, and what might be possible if one could give their life to professional practice – as dedicated practitioners have done for thousands of years. That's why I've cleared away everything to make vocational practice possible. It's what I'd like to do with my life.

I hope that, together, we can make meditation my profession.

I'm hoping to raise enough recurring donations to make my full-time practice sustainable, over the long-term, as a profession. If you'd like to set up a recurring donation, or make a one-time donation, you can do so through this link. Thank you so much for your support!

Simply put, sympathetic joy is our capacity to delight in the happiness and good fortune of others—think of it as the flip side to feeling compassion for others’ suffering.

[onemindzen]

The first three of the Four Immeasurables are Lovingkindness (metta in Pali), Compassion (karuna), and Sympathetic Joy (mudita). In all three of these cases, the cause/effect of these is the near-extinguishing of the pervasive sense of self. The expression of these powerful actions requires us to experience this in order for them to be full. It isn't "'I' love you," it's only that there is love. Same for compassion and sympathetic joy--there need be no "I" involved. The person for whom we express sympathetic joy, for example, doesn't need to know that we are experiencing this because they're happy, we don't need to interject our "I" into it whatsoever. And the fourth Immeasurable--Equanimity (Upekkha) gives us the balanced mind to be able to perform and experience the Three Kinds of Love. We have the insight to know that compassion for another is also commpassion for ourselves, that lovingkindness is universal, not personal. Robert Koho Epstein gives us the talk, relating all of these to a walk down the streets of Washington DC.

Spring Cleaning for Your Well-being

Most of the yard is covered in 18+ inches of snow right now. The driveway is slick with ice and slush. And yet. And yet I can feel spring in the air. It’s almost like a psychic form of proprioception. I can’t see the flowers and grass yet, but I know they’re waking up. There are more birds outside, the squirrels and chipmunks are skittering over the snow more often. Having spent my entire life…

Delighting in Others' Success I intentionally ask myself the question, “What would I gain from this person’s loss?” and it is quite clear to me that I don’t benefit at all. The true benefit is in stepping off of center stage, and experiencing the kindness of delighting in someone else’s good experience.

The essence of absolute #organisedmind is through the four Brahmavihāras, the four sublime attitudes, present both in the teachings of Buddhism and Yoga (as presented in Patañjali’s Yoga Sutra I.33) is as मैत्रीकरुणामुदितोपेक्षाणां सुखदुःखपुण्यापुण्यविषयाणां भावनातश्चित्तप्रसादनम्॥३३॥ maitrī karuṇā mudito-pekṣāṇāṁ-sukha-duḥkha puṇya-apuṇya-viṣayāṇāṁ bhāvanātaḥ citta-prasādanam ॥33॥ “The mind becomes clarified by cultivating attitudes of friendliness, compassion, gladness and indifference respectively towards happiness, misery, virtue and vice.

All your polarities are valid A critical attitude towards oneself doesn’t mean that you have to be hateful to yourself. The critical attitude can be accompanied by compassion and warmth. All your polarities are equally valid, whether weakness or strength. There’s no point in splitting your basic being into several parts and trying to suppress certain parts and cultivate others. If we don’t have allegiance toward samsara or nirvana, then we free ourselves from any dogma, any bondage. Some sense of ultimate relaxation begins to occur. — Chögyam Trungpa #Satipațțhāna #Upekkha #Metta #Maitri #Karuna #Mudita (at New Haven Zen Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwWvjSuLLO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
