anger on a personal level, can destroy our relationships with the people we value the most, and keeps our mind bound in spirals of misery.
As powerful the negative state of anger is, it lacks any material substance whatsoever. When we look into our own minds & hearts and under
stand this disturbing mental/emotional state better, we will realize angers unrealistic projec
tion and thus will not buy into its story so readily.
We will gradually be able to distance ourselves
from this distructive Painful mental/emotional state Without suppressing, repressing, or
expressing it. We will replace it with much more
Wholesome and Beneficial states of mind, and
in this way, Patience, tolerance, love, and
compassion will grow within us. We also culti
vate a deep sense of who we really are !!
"Working with Anger" By Thubten Chodron is written in a friendly, and most encouraging way
which all people can benefit from, whether for themselves or to help others !!
