But have we ever wondered why something that makes one person feel good can make another person feel bad? We usually believe that pleasantness and unpleasantness come from the objects themselves, but in reality, our experiences depend upon our own mind and karma. Buddha taught that our feelings actually function to experience the effects of our previous actions, or karma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy understanding the nature and function of our feelings, we can begin to see why our experiences differ from those of others and why happiness and suffering do not come from external objects. This profound understanding can transform the way we relate to our daily experiences and help us gradually reduce suffering and move towards a life of lasting happiness and peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeditation: Our feelings arise in dependence upon karma rather than external objects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReading: \u003c\/strong\u003eIf you wish to follow the teachings by reading, you can find these instructions in the book \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tharpa.com\/uk\/how-to-understand-the-mind\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow to Understand the Mind\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche \u003cstrong\u003e(28 Jan: \u003ci\u003ePrimary Minds and Mental Factors, Feeling\u003c\/i\u003e, p. 13-23)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eThese classes include the chanted prayers \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tharpa.com\/uk\/prayers-for-meditation-booklet\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrayers for Meditation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, which help us receive blessings (positive energy) and inspiration in our minds, providing powerful support for our learning and spiritual progress.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Teacher:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGabrielle is studying on the Teacher Training Programme at Tara IKRC.
