22.11 live class - finding light in the heart

human beings tend to base their happiness on their own personal circumstances. when things in our life are going well, we can be happy. when things in our life are not going well, we find it difficult to be happy. cultivating ‘mudita’ or ‘sympathetic joy’ is developing the ability to be happy for others happiness. it is a reminder that we are a part of something so much greater than just ourselves, and seeing others happiness and wishing others happiness can be a beautiful way to find light in our hearts, even in challenging moments.
