Or are they  something to be ignored and avoided as soon as we recognize them? Rob  Preece feels that neither of those extremes is correct. He charts a path  through the emotions as they relate to Buddhist practice, showing that  though emotions are indeed \"skandhas\" (elements that make up the  illusory self) according to the Buddhist teaching, there is a good deal  to be learned from these skandhas, and paying attention to their content  contributes not only to psychological health but to deep insight into  the nature of reality. He draws on his own experiences with emotions and  meditation, through both his training in Tibetan Buddhism and  psychotherapy, to show how working with emotions can be a complement to  meditation practice.","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43405086064895,"sku":"9781611801682","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781611801682_s600x595.jpg?v=1776096131","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781611801682","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
