"Spiritual joy is the innate capacity for the heart to take pleasure and wonderment in this life and in the happiness of others, a kind of sympathetic joy." – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack mindfully navigates:

  • Mudita as a spiritual/sympathetic joy and generosity of spirit which take s pleasure in the happiness of others
  • Rumi, the ocean of poetry, channeling, listening, and inspiration
  • Seeing the beauty in the the light, eyes, and world around us
  • Spirituality, happiness, and taking responsibility for your heart
  • The Buddha's lens that joy and beauty are crucial factors of enlightenment
  • A guided meditation partner practice to cultivate mudita (sympathetic joy) and metta (loving kindness)
