Eastern teachings on taming thoughts and converting emotions
I have been asked "what are some good places to learn what cognitive and behavioral therapies look like in Eastern Thought. Here are two sites (and their search hits) which are good places for beginners. No special vocabulary or education is needed to benefit from these beginning teachings. Hope they are of benefit to any who are interested in such things.

Here is the general search web site for Tonglen Meditation. I personally like Pema Chodron, who is famous for, among other things, her book: "Start Where You ARE". http://www.bing.com/search?FORM=WEAC&PC=WEAC&q=Tonglen+Meditation&src= IE-SearchBox here is a site where you can read what she says: http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Faith-Tools/Meditation/1999/12/Tonglen-Meditation.aspx Changing Pain into Compassion.

Here is the link to a search of Lojong Mind Training : http://www.bing.com/search?FORM=WEAC&PC=WEAC&q=Lojong&src=IE-SearchBox And here is the site for the Daily Lesson: http://lojongmindtraining.com/ Taming the Thoughts

This should set you well on your way to a newer and deeper understanding of how to tame the thoughts, and emotions, and progress on the path to being the person we all want to be: our best self~! :-) your friend, Gus
