このコンテンツについて
In this episode, we explore the Buddhist concept of Muditā, often translated as sympathetic or vicarious joy. This podcast delves into the definition of Muditā as the selfless delight in the well-being and good fortune of others. We discuss its place as one of the four "Divine Abodes," or Brahmavihāras, alongside loving-kindness, compassion, and equanimity. The episode examines how the practice of Muditā serves as a direct antidote to envy and resentment, and why it is often considered the most challenging of these virtues to cultivate. We also compare the perspectives on Muditā within the Theravāda and Mahāyāna traditions, outlining its role in both personal purification and the Bodhisattva's path. Furthermore, this podcast provides an overview of the formal meditation practices used to develop sympathetic joy and discusses the common obstacles, including its subtle "near enemy." Finally, we touch upon how modern psychology and neuroscience are beginning to validate the profound benefits of this ancient practice on our well-being and brain function.
