Y2Q12) Awareness of our emotions

As Buddhists, we believe that Right Speech takes priority over Free Speech. Put simply, Right Speech means abstaining from gossip and talk which is false, malicious, or harsh. Write only what you believe to be true and relevant, voicing your opinion with kindness and patience. Avoid worldly, partisan, or discriminatory topics and remarks that are patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, racist, anti-semitic, pro-nazi, bio essentialist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic or any other kind of hateful views even if such advocacy is couched in terms of ‘discussing the texts’ or ‘maintaining tradition’.

      We have received a list with many emotions. How can we make use of this in meditation?

      Perhaps cause emotions strongly influence our thoughts, words, and actions. Some are beneficial others are not. When we are aware of the emotions in our meditation, we can apply the antidote (explained in books about mind and cognition for example) and then they have less grip over us. When our afflicted emotions become less and less the more happier we become and the more beneficial we can be for others. Dukha opposite sukha. The 4 noble truths.
