It was great to see others interest in the term 'Mudita' and happy to hear the joy in others discovery of this concept or way of life. Our main aim is to 'live' or 'practice' this concept when working with clients, it's wonderful to see how much healing people can receive just from a feeling of being accepted and to know someone in this world feels good because they feel good, and thats before any healing treatment!! Mudita for me isn't a saintly expression but a very human one, maybe one of our most positive qualities that has been forgotten. The most difficult concept of Mudita can somtimes be towards ourselves, if we can't forgive ourselves for mistakes and feel Mudita when we are successful in anything and at any level, our capacity to feel Mudita towards others could be limited. Wow! Thanks for shareing all this, Nameste Stephanie xx Hi Everyone,

I am with the Mudita School of Healing in Sussex, I help teach on our two year course and practice Mudita Healing.

It was great to see others interest in the term ‘Mudita’ and happy to hear the joy in others discovery of this concept or way of life.

Our main aim is to ‘live’ or ‘practice’ this concept when working with clients, it’s wonderful to see how much healing people can receive just from a feeling of being accepted and to know someone in this world feels good because they feel good, and thats before any healing treatment!!

Mudita for me isn’t a saintly expression but a very human one, maybe one of our most positive qualities that has been forgotten. The most difficult concept of Mudita can somtimes be towards ourselves, if we can’t forgive ourselves for mistakes and feel Mudita when we are successful in anything and at any level, our capacity to feel Mudita towards others could be limited.

I am so grateful that “mudita” is in my vocabulary now as a means to add joy as a high emotion to my recognition of others accomplishments. But I will begin by using “mudita” to uplift myself: a writer who has spent too much time and energy moaning and groaning about the amount of work (although done) not accomplished in any 24-hour period. I shall use “mudita” to emplace joy into the assessment of my work. I shall practice acquiring feelings of happiness — and even approval of myself — for striving toward my goal, the reality of which can only be created in bits and pieces, daily.

Infact the Pali language itself took birth from Sanskrit which became the language for Buddhist teachings which then paved way to Prakrit and later to Apbhransh and then to the modern Aryan Languages. So saying Mudita a Pali word is not etymologically correct. By the way good blog.Thanks for the read.

Glad someone is thinking about things like this. You must have the concept before you rate a word. Sadly our culture is lacking in their understanding of quite a few obvious things. I so appreciate this. Mudita! Thank you!! Pamela Makes one wonder what other definitions can’t find their word in the English language. Glad someone is thinking about things like this.

I am a Buddhist meditation teacher. During dharma talk, I introduced the word mudita to participants and explained its meaning. Many made notes indicating that they too appreciate this excellent word. The interesting coincidence is, in case you haven't already discovered it, Joshua, is that my name is Leigh.

Alas the search is over :-D. On another note, I've always struggled with the concept of altruism, don't believe it truly exists. Mudita is much better.

But there is no word so specific as "mudita". Good job :) Great word “mudita” and great you for note that there is no word for this feeling, and as side-effect also noting the psychological and philosophical implications about competeviness in our behavior as human beings
