About this episode
Peter Doobinin discusses the nature of emotions and how to cultivate a skillful relationship with them through dharma practice.
Emotions, as Peter Doobinin explains, are part of life, part of what it means to be a human being. In dharma practice, we learn to understand emotions and to develop a skillful relationship to them. And we learn to move beyond emotions, to know those qualities that are transcendent and conduce to happiness, the qualities of the heart. The dharma talk was given in January 2025.
