Although it may seem counter-intuitive, the basic nature of strong emotions is wisdom. Anger, jealousy, pride, attachment, willful indifference and other emotions all seem to be inherently negative, and, from a relative perspective, are destructive to ourselves and to others. Fundamentally, however, these “upsurges in the luminosity of mind”, as Rinpoche refers to them, provide an opportunity to see the wisdom of ultimate reality. In these talks, Rinpoche presents the same stages of practice he presented in his Emotions teachings in 2006. These stages are mindful gap, clear seeing and letting go. However, in these talks Rinpoche approaches emotions from a distinctly Vajrayana perspective. He clearly explains how to use these stages of practice, especially mindful gap, to look at emotions directly and nakedly and experience their ultimate wisdom. In the introductory talk, Rinpoche outlines the view of emotions in the three yanas. In the concluding talk, Rinpoche explains the Dzogchen approach to working with emotions. These teachings are engaging, delightful and profound. Five talks

Features
- MP3CD Recordings
MP3CDs look like ordinary CDs, but contain compressed audio files. While a regular audio CD holds a maximum of only 80 minutes of recorded audio, an identical-looking MP3CD can easily hold the audio files from an entire weekend or even week-long teaching. MP3CDs can be played in a computer and/or the audio files can be downloaded into an iPod or similar device. MP3CDs may also be played on a portable MP3CD player. Most ordinary CD players, such as the CD player in most older cars (roughly 2005 and earlier), will not play MP3CDs. Many but not all cars 2006 or later do have MP3-capable CD players. Any car or home stereo CD player that is capable of playing an MP3CD will have “MP3” or “MP3-WMA” clearly marked on the front of it. - The MP3CDs available for sale on this web site are all clearly labeled and packaged in a clear case. The audio files on them have proper ID3 tag information, which means that on a computer, iPod or similar device the audio files will display (and can be searched by) Album (Title of teaching), Song (Talk number within a teaching) and Artist (Teacher).
