Emotions

Words from the transcriber: This dhamma talk was taught by Sayadaw U Jotika on 06-04-1997. Due to the low quality of the recorded audio, there are quite a few of “can’t get the words” in this transcript. However, you still can catch the complete content and the points Sayadaw wanted to make, I believe.

In this talk, Sayadaw used quotes from the book named “Emotional Intelligence (EI): Why it can matter more than IQ” by Daniel Goleman (the best book ever about EI), explained them and added Sayadaw’s thoughts into it as well as connected it with mindfulness practice. As you may beware of, though all should agree that EI is powerful, yet you don’t see those EI books mentioning much about the best tool to practice and put EI into action which is mindfulness practice, especially Vipassana meditation. In this talk, Sayadaw U Jotika made that link along with explanation. May all mindfulness, peace and happiness be with you.
