The practice of sympathetic joy is the third of the so-called Brahmavihāras or abodes of the gods. We will discuss what it entails, why we should practice it, and look at three different approaches to such a practice in the Buddhist tradition. We will also consider some potential problems that may come up when we consider sympathetic joy.
