A new friend, Simon, sent me this clip from youtube. It is about 10 minutes long and I invite you to stay with it until the end.

Here Ram Dass interviews Thich Nhat Hanh who skilfully takes us from thinking we are our emotions and this leading to suffering, to being with our emotions  with loving-kindness, to impermanence and non-self.

Brilliant, compassionate and useful in day-to-day living.
