Skilful Ways to Deal with Challenging Emotions
đ How are you feeling? Positive emotions like love can be a profound source of connection and joy. However, pleasant feelings often give rise to desireâa quiet craving that pulls us off balance and, without our noticing, may lead us to harm ourselves or others. Unpleasant feelings can stir aversion or anger, gradually corroding and harming our relationships. At times, deluded states of mind trap us in repetitive mental loopsâpatterns we know are unhelpful, yet still feel unable to break free from.
This series is based on the book âHow to Solve Our Human Problemsâ by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
