In Buddhism, painful emotions are known as ‘delusions’. They are
called this precisely because when we are experiencing them our
perceptions are distorted. Under their influence we see things
incorrectly and act inappropriately. These deluded minds, eg. anger,
desirous attachment, jealousy, and deluded pride, are completely
unreliable states of mind. Don’t trust them! They are guaranteed to
create unhappiness for ourself and others. This is why we need to
learn skillful methods for recognizing them and letting them go.
In this series we will be applying the wisdom gained from the
meditation on the clarity of the mind to learning how to let go of
painful emotions. We will explore some of the key delusions and train
in practical methods for skillfully overcoming them. How much happier
our life will be if we are no longer held captive by these painful
emotions!
