Practicing with Unpleasant Emotions

In this short video, Thay teaches us how not to allow a painful feeling to overwhelm us. By cultivating the energy of mindfulness, we develop the power to come home to our feelings and touch the sorrow in us without fighting it, denying it or running away from it; instead we recognise it and embrace it tenderly like a mother holds her baby.
