Mudita is understood as a deep lasting sense of well-being that transcends challenging circumstances, not merely a fleeting emotion like happiness, but a more profound and enduring state of mind. The cultivation of mudita lifts the heart out of its preoccupation with insufficiency. As a result, the buoyant energy of gratitude begins to restore the human spirit with hope.
