Listen "Metta is Excellent, but Don't Neglect Mudita & Karuna | Compassion Sympathetic Joy | Ajahn Dhammasiha"
Episode Synopsis
Loving Kindness is an extremely beneficial mental quality, and an excellent meditation object. However, in some situations Compassion (Karuṇā) or Sympathetic Joy (Muditā) may work even better to overcome unwholesome mind states, and develop wholesome ones.
(Of course, there is also the extremely important 4th 'Divine Abiding' (Brahmavihāra), namely Equanimity (Upekkhā), but that will have to be covered in another talk)
