On the occasion of Abhayagiri Kathina 2015, Ajahn Viradhammo rejoices in the news that Ajahn Pasanno and Ajahn Amaro have been invited to receive the title of Chao Khun and explains the meaning and value of mudita (sympathetic joy). He goes on to reflect on the transformative quality of mudita and uses several similes to describe the Buddha's path. This talk was offered on November 1, 2015 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.
