About this section:
In the course of one day, we experience so many emotions. Some, such as genuine love and compassion, are valuable. Others, such as attachment, anger, closed-mindedness, pride and jealously, disturb our mental peace and lead us to act in ways that hurt ourselves and others. These pieces help us to examine our disturbing attitudes and negative emotions and to explore some antidotes to pacify and transform them.

Ven Chodron discusses the human condition of feeling left out, separate from all others. She shows how her choice to cultivate inner beauty through the Buddhist path leads one to the values and principles that bring internal peace and open our hearts to others. This letting go of superficial identities reveals the true gifts we can offer that will benefit all sentient beings.
