I was looking for the Mingyur Rinpoche quote but then realized I have the book.
"Ultimately, happiness comes down to choosing between the discomfort of becoming aware of your mental afflictions and the discomfort of being ruled by them."
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, "The Joy of Living"
Quote offered by Hugh Byrne on Sunday, August 29, 2021... he was speaking about accepting our emotions as they arise. Riding these emotions, sitting with them. He also referred to the story about the man on the galloping horse..."hey, where are you going"? "I don't know, ask the horse!"
