Buddhism emphasizes that emotions and feelings are mental states in living beings. Without
mind, there is no experience: a corpse certainly doesn’t have love or hatred, and a group of neurons
or a cluster of genes does not feel pleasure or pain. Living beings do. Feelings, emotions, thoughts,
views, attitudes, and so forth occur in the mind — they are mental states experienced by living beings
