An inner wellspring of immeasurable, sympathetic and vicarious joy that comes from delighting in other people's well-being rather than begrudging it.

It should be mentioned that there is no direct translation of the word mudita in the English language. With that being said, mudita should not be confused with pride, as a person feeling mudita may not have any benefit or direct income from the accomplishments of the other. Mudita is a pure joy unadulterated by self-interest.
