情緒是生活中不可避免的一部份，它們可以在任何時候影響我們的思想、行為和身體狀態。學會觀察情緒，不僅能避免自己情緒泛濫，更能幫助我們理解別人的情緒和行為。
不應該評斷情緒的好壞，因為這種評斷也是情緒行為。如果以快樂或悲傷去評斷自己的情緒，我們很容易放大情緒並被情緒淹沒，以致無法看清楚情緒的根源。我們應該帶著意識觀察，用平等的心去看待情緒。例如，透過使用字母來區分情緒A和情緒B，我們可以與自己的情緒保持距離。當情緒A消失，情緒B出現，這時候我們會發現，如果情緒A被評為快樂，B被評為悲傷，可能就不那麼準確了。
快樂和悲傷都是複雜的情緒，其中包含了許多不同的元素。所謂快樂，意味著有些東西我們想繼續保留，表示我們有欲望。所謂悲傷，則意味著我們不接受某些事物，表示我們在抗拒。保留或抗拒，也就是喜歡或討厭，都是由我們內心的無意識所操作。在情緒產生的時候，我們沒有意識到，世上沒有必須保留的東西，也沒有不可接受的事物。所以，只要我們的關注點轉變，保留與否、抗拒與否、喜歡與否，都會隨之改變。
我們可以練習一段時間，為各種情緒換上最平淡的名字。然後像看電影那樣，看著雲卷雲舒、日出日落的情緒畫面。這樣做可以幫助我們成為真正的情緒觀察者。讓情感受到理智的引領，進而讓心靈與生命同步，我們就能不受情緒的影響，而看到自己的真正需要。
生命只受那些能讓它保持活力和繁榮的事物所吸引，因此那些會導致生命損耗或消亡東西，我們都會本能地遠離。不過，我們的自我卻經常違背生命，控制著我們的情緒，驅使我們以生命作賭注，並祈求贏得想像中的永恆。因此，觀察情緒，是一個認識自己、提高意識的非常重要的步驟。
透過觀察情緒，我們能洞察自我的虛幻本質及其負面影響，重新掌控自己的情緒，讓生命遠離賭局。在意識的保護下，我們不僅能暢順地體驗情緒帶來的豐富感受，讓自己的身心更健康，也能與別人分享美好的經驗。

Being an observer of emotions
Emotions are an inevitable part of life, and they can affect our thoughts, behaviors, and physical state at any time. Learning to observe emotions, not only prevents our own emotions from overflowing, but also helps us understand the emotions and behaviors of others.
We should not judge emotions as good or bad, because such judgments are also emotional behaviors. If we judge our emotions in terms of joy or sadness, it is easy for us to magnify our emotions and be overwhelmed by them, so that we cannot see clearly the origins of our emotions. We should observe emotions with awareness and treat them with equality. For example, by using letters to distinguish between emotion A and emotion B, we can distance ourselves from our emotions. When emotion A disappears and emotion B appears, we will find that if emotion A is judged as happiness and emotion B is judged as sadness, it may not be so accurate.
Both happiness and sadness are complex emotions that contain many different elements. The so-called joy means that there are things that we want to keep, which means that we have desires. Sadness means that we don't accept something, that we are resisting it. Retention or resistance, that is, liking or hating, are all operated by our inner unconscious. When emotions arise, we are not aware that there is nothing in the world that must be kept or nothing that cannot be accepted. Therefore, as long as our focus changes, whether to keep or not, resist or not, like or not, will also change accordingly.
We can practice for a period of time, giving various emotions the most bland names. Then, just like watching a movie, watch the emotional scenes of clouds rolling and relaxing, sunrise and sunset. Doing so can help us become true observers of emotions. By letting emotions be guided by reason, and letting the mind and life synchronize, we can be able to see our true needs without being affected by emotions.
Life is only attracted to those things that keep it alive and prosperous, so we instinctively stay away from things that cause life to be lost or destroyed. However, our ego often works against life, controlling our emotions and driving us to gamble with our lives and pray for an imaginary eternity. Therefore, observing emotions is a very important step in understanding ourselves and increasing our consciousness.
By observing emotions, we can gain insight into the illusory nature of the self and its negative effects, regain control of our emotions, and keep our lives away from gambling. Under the protection of consciousness, we can not only smoothly experience the rich feelings brought by emotions, making our body and mind healthier, but also share beautiful experiences with others.
