Some reflections on Mundane Right View in Buddhism and celebrating good (or wholesome) action:
Mundane right view in Buddhism is the understanding that actions have consequences, and that wholesome actions lead to happiness and unwholesome actions lead to suffering. It is also the recognition that there is a law of moral causation, called karma, that governs the results of our actions. Mundane right view is contrasted with supramundane right view, which is the direct insight into the true nature of reality, beyond the conventional notions of self and phenomena.
Celebrating when good action happens is a way of expressing gratitude and joy for the positive outcomes of our wholesome deeds. It is also a way of strengthening our motivation and confidence to continue on the path of virtue and wisdom. It's a great way to make use of psychological positive reinforcement as well.
Celebrating when good action happens is not a form of attachment or pride, but rather a skillful means of cultivating wholesome mental states and reinforcing the law of karma.
