By welcoming joy we become content, so we relax, thus letting go of the need to do something - anything about it - thus calming down. Inner and/or outer joy facilitates the shift from doing to being - from trying to letting go - crucial steps on the path to awakening.
What is the experience of compassion, how does it arise, what are it’s obstacles. This talk also discusses the Bhrama Vihara of mudita, appreciative joy and how we cultivate this rare and beautiful quality of gladness and celebrating the joys of others.
