All PEMA CHODRON Quotes about “Emotions”

“Meditation is about seeing clearly the body that we have, the mind that we have, the domestic situation that we have, the job that we have, and the people who are in our lives. It's about seeing how we react to all these things. It's seeing our emotions and thoughts just as they are right now, in this very moment, in this very room, on this very seat. It's about not trying to make them go away, not trying to become better than we are, but just seeing clearly with precision and gentleness.”
“Constantly apply cheerfulness, if for no other reason than because you are on this spiritual path. Have a sense of gratitude to everything, even difficult emotions, because of their potential to wake you up.”
“The biggest obstacle to taking a bigger perspective on life is that our emotions capture and blind us.”
“Inner #â€Ž peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your #â€Ž emotions”
“Sitting meditation gives us a way to move closer to our thoughts and emotions and to get in touch with our bodies.”
