Student and Teacher
Together on the Path
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche responds to a student's question regarding her experience of crying during meditation practice. This excerpt is from the webcast series on Tapping into Relationships to Nourish Your Soul, July 2015, Part 6, of a free, yearlong course on The True Source of Healing. See more on the Cybersangha website.
Student: It seems that lately I cannot stop crying during the meditation. Is that okay?
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche: Yes, of course it's okay. Allow those feelings. Experience those feelings and express those feelings. It's completely okay to feel that. Even for me, my eyes fill up a little bit with tears. It's completely okay to release that.
Sometimes these tears are tears of releasing pain, sometimes these tears are tears of arising joy. So, whatever it is, in any case, it is good to feel that and release it. Because if you don't release the pain, then you don't feel the space; if you don't feel the space, then you will not feel the love, you will not feel the connection. These qualities of love, connection and joy are already arising with the release of pain and anger. So, it's important to release that.
