Friends:
Blown around
in the Mental Space by Emotional Storms!!!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus, even as many winds blow
turbulent in the sky, from all the directions of east,
west, south, & north, both dusty and dustless winds, both cold & hot winds, both
mild &
forceful winds, even so do also all the many various feelings arise in this
body:
Both pleasant, painful and neither-painful-nor-pleasant neutral feelings
perpetually emerge and perturb the mind...

Just as many diverse winds,
Storms here and there across the sky,
So in this very body:
The many types of feelings arise,
Both pleasant, and painful ones,
And those neither painful nor pleasant.
Yet when a determined Bhikkhu does not
neglect aware and clear comprehension;
Then such intelligent one fully understands
Feelings and all their complex aspects...
All provoked & arised from sense Contact!
Instantly vanishing, when this Contact ceases!
Having fully understood feelings, he is all freed
of all mental fermentation, even in this very life...
Remaining in this state, at the body's breakup,
Such Mind-Master cannot ever be imagined...

Pleasant feeling induces greed...
Painful feeling produces hate...
Neither-painful-nor-pleasant neutral feeling
causes neglect & thus generates ignorance...
All
converges on Feeling (Vedanā):
