Welcoming the Unwanted

When you notice what you're experiencing, then you pay attention to the feeling tone that arises with that experience. In other words, i notice, this is pleasant, it's unpleasant, or it's neutral. It's something that i want, its something that i don't want, or something i don't really care about. If you can focus on changing the relationship you have with the experience, your feelings will change as well. With an unskilful relationship, he could have just died there at the hands of the monster like everyone else did.
