Positive Empathy
The Power of Rejoicing
Usually, when we think about empathy, itβs along the lines of βI feel your painβ, but is there also a positive empathy? According to Buddha there is and itβs called rejoicing. It turns out that learning to identify positively with and rejoice in othersβ experience of happiness, good fortune, and other good qualities, is one of the quickest and most effective methods to develop happiness ourselves β¦ both immediately and in the future. Also, by rejoicing in othersβ good qualities β such as their confidence or kindness β we naturally grow those good qualities within ourselves.
Itβs also one of the easiest spiritual practices to learn how to do.
In this course, Heather will explain the practice of rejoicing and guide meditations on it so that we can gain first-hand experience.
