understand, transform, and utilize the basic energy of even our
negative emotions to live fresh and genuinely happy lives."
—Richard Gere
“Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche combines his powerful depth of
understanding with straightforward language to make this an
enjoyable and highly valuable book. The three step process for
emotional rescue is a superb modern-day expression of
traditional teachings. Its instructions, well practiced, will be
liberating”.
—Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness
"Emotions can tangle and trip us up with no understanding of their
wild chaotic possibility. In this important book Ponlop teaches us
step by step how to unwind emotions and use their energy and power.
We no longer have to be at the mercy of anger, delusion, desire,
and aggression. Happy he wrote this book."
—Natalie Goldberg, author of The Great Spring and Writing Down the
Bones
"Dzogchen Ponlop's teachings always beautifully balance the ancient
Eastern with the modern Western, the profoundly complex with the
freshly simple. In Emotional Rescue, he turns his
attention to perhaps the most urgent topic faced by meditators: how
to deal with difficult emotions. The three-step process for
mindfulness of emotions contained in this book is deeply rooted in
the wisdom of Buddhist psychology, yet offered free of jargon by a
modern master. I will definitely be using the deep insights of this
book in my own practice and in my work with students."
—Ethan Nichtern, author of The Road Home: A Contemporary
Exploration of the Buddhist Path
