Thich Nhat Hanh

“If you’re capable of producing a feeling of joy, a feeling of happiness, then you’ll also be able to handle painful feelings. A person who doesn’t practice doesn’t know how to deal with painful feelings or strong emotions. But for those of us who are practitioners, when a painful feeling or a strong emotion comes up, we’re not victims—we know what to do. When a feeling of happiness or suffering comes up, we just recognize the feeling as it is. Even with a pleasant feeling, we just recognize it. We don’t need to grasp it or cling to it. We just practice mere recognition of what is happening, that is, a pleasant feeling.”
