How to train Rejoicing Joy in others Success?
When sitting alone, in silence, each early morning, with closed eyes one wishes:
May I radiate and meet only never-ending and mutually rejoicing joy!
May I & all the various beings on the 31 levels of existence develop
and find
only celebration and elation in a never-ending mutually rejoicing joy!
May I & all beings on the sense-desire, fine-material,
and the formless plane
develop and encounter this generous, infinite and mutually rejoicing joy!
May I & all beings in the front, to the right, the back, the left,
and below as
above, develop and experience openhearted, sharing, & mutually rejoicing joy!
May I
and all beings within this city, country, planet and universe always:
Be fully aware and deeply mindful of this content and mutually rejoicing joy!
Examine all details & aspects of this satisfied and mutually rejoicing joy!
Put enthusiastic effort in our praxis of this devoted mutually rejoicing joy!
Enjoy enraptured jubilant gladness in this exulting mutually rejoicing joy!
Be silenced by the tranquillity of quiet and all smiling mutually rejoicing joy!
Be concentrated & absorbed into one-pointedness by genuine rejoicing joy!
Dwell in
an imperturbable equanimity of pure and mutually rejoicing joy...
Yeah! May
it be even so, since mutual joy causes the jewel of contentment!
Comment: Mutual Joy is the 3rd infinite mental state (Appamaññā):
This gradually reduces all envy, jealousy, possessiveness, stinginess, avarice,
miserliness, green covetousness
and any unhappiness related with all these states.
The cause of Mutual Joy in rejoicing in your child's or boon companion's
success.
This same joy can then be beamed towards all liked,
neutral and also hostile beings.
Mutual Joy is then the
proximate cause
of satisfied and fulfilled
Contentment...
Lack of
mutual joy is thus the proximate cause of dissatisfied discontentment...
Joined with the 7 links to Awakening it will later cause a formless
jhāna...
Be happy at all and especially other being's success! Then calm comfort grows!
