HOW TO LET GO OF PAINFUL EMOTIONS

In Buddhism, painful emotions are known as ‘delusions’. They are called this precisely because when we are experiencing them our perceptions are distorted. These deluded states of mind -- anger, desirous attachment, jealousy, to name a few -- are guaranteed to create unhappiness for us and for others. This is why we need to learn skillful methods for recognizing them and letting them go. In this series we will practise the meditation on the clarity of the mind to help us work with painful emotions. We will also learn to apply special opponents for directly combatting each delusion. How much happier our life will be if we are no longer held captive by these painful emotions!
