Making Friends with Your Emotions

Making Friends with Your Emotions

Author: Yeshe Rabgye June 26, 2021 Duration: 10:39
What we usually do is try to fight against our strong emotions, suppress them or get totally tangled up in them. None of these are going to be helpful. The more we fight against the emotion, the stronger it becomes. Acting this way, we will eventually make the emotion into our enemy. But emotions are not our enemies, they are our teachers. They don’t just suddenly appear for no reason. They come to inform us that something is happening, and we need to deal with it.

In a world often filled with noise, Buddhism Guide offers a space for practical reflection. Hosted by Yeshe Rabgye, a Buddhist monk originally from England, this podcast approaches ancient wisdom with a grounded, secular perspective. Yeshe travels internationally, sharing teachings on meditation, mindfulness, and mental well-being, but here he distils those conversations into accessible audio sessions. The tone is deliberately unpretentious, stripping away cultural ornamentation to focus on the core principles that can be applied to modern life. You won't find dogma here; instead, each episode invites a personal examination of your own mind and experiences. Yeshe presents ideas with clarity, never demanding blind acceptance but encouraging thoughtful inquiry. Whether exploring the nature of suffering, the mechanics of meditation, or the everyday cultivation of compassion, this podcast serves as a pragmatic companion. It’s for anyone curious about how Buddhist thought can inform a more resilient and aware existence, regardless of spiritual background. Tuning in feels less like attending a lecture and more like engaging in a considered dialogue, one that values your own insight as much as the teaching itself.
