Feelings are born, take shape, last for a few moments, and then disappear. As with the physical form, birth and death of feelings occur in every moment. In meditation, we look mindfully at this river of feelings. We contemplate their arising, their remaining, and their disappearance. We witness their impermanence. When we have an unpleasant feeling, we say to ourselves, “This feeling is in me, it will stay for a while, and then it will disappear because it is impermanent.” Just by seeing the impermanence of feelings in this way, we suffer a lot less.

- Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

感情产生、 成形，过了一阵子，然后消失。跟色相一样，时时刻刻，感情都在生灭。在禅修中，我们提起正念观察着感情的河流。我们观它们的产生，它们暂时的存在，和它们的消失。就这样，我们见证它们的无常。当我们不愉快，我们对自己说："这种感觉在我心里，它会停留一段时间，然后它就会消失因为它是无常的。"仅仅通过这种方式观察我们的感情，我们的苦就会少了很多。
