LEARNING TO HANDLE EMOTIONS IN DAILY LIFE

Penang Retreat Nov 2019 Q&A Group 1 Round 3 (45:00-45:38)

Yogi: When disliking arises, I think that disliking is nature and then go back to watching my breath.

Sayadaw: Don’t be in a hurry to go back to watching the breath; observe the discomfort first. That is more useful – whenever an emotion or reaction arises, you need to practice watching it so that later you understand how to handle your emotions in daily life.
