Emotions
How do Buddhism and emotions intersect? Emotions, like thoughts, can be great teachers, and mindfulness meditation can help us relate to them. In some cases, Buddhist wisdom and practice can help us some negative emotions or afflictions (kleshas), and in other cases, it can help us cultivate positive mental or heart states, like loving-kindness and compassion.
