The author of this passage would probably agree that
Language and culture shape how we interpret and define emotion; that is, emotions are experienced through the lens of culture. For example, the feeling of yugan—roughly, a “moment of oneness”—in Japan, or rasa, a “wordless appreciation” in India, have no exact counterparts in English. A great many Tibetan terms that refer to subtle aspects of meditation have no equivalent in English. Similarly, Tibetan has no word for the English term “emotion.” The Dalai Lama was astounded to hear that many Westerners suffer from feelings of low self-esteem. There is no such concept of self-loathing or self-deprecation—or, as the Dalai Lama puts it, “a lack of compassion for oneself”—in Tibetan culture.
A) the Dalai Lama is a linguist.
B) Tibetans rarely suffer from low self-esteem.
