A quote from Paul Ekman saying that both he and the Dalai Lama have similar ideas about emotions does little good if noone specifies what those ideas are.
Paul Ekman is famous for having shown that certain basic emotions come with culture independent physiological signs and he’s among the 100 most cited psychologists.
I do think that it’s significant that a major psychologiss who researches emotions comes to very similar nontrival results as Buddhists.
I don’t think his idea of emotions is well summarized by a single quote.
