Awaken to the Buddha Within |
|
Beginning
with the Buddha's life, this book
explores what he experienced: from
causality and impermanence to compassion
and altruism. Understanding his
teachings of morality, concentration,
and wisdom can help us to find within
ourselves the answers we seeking.
Whether our goal is to be more caring of
others while finding a calmer, wiser way
of reacting to life’s daily challenges
or to walk the path to awakening, the
teachings of the Buddha will help us to
progress as he himself did—one
step at a time.

Transforming
Anger |
|
The
Buddha taught about three poisons—greed,
anger and ignorance. Ignorance leads us
to wrong conclusions, which lead us to
craving and attachments. Anger arises
when our craving is unchecked and our
ignorance is not dispelled. In an
instant of anger, lives can be
irrevocably changed and all that we have
attained can suddenly be lost. However,
with insight and patience, anger can be
reduced and gradually transformed into
peace. The key to transformation lies in
understanding and the wish to change.

Let Us Not be
Blinded by 'An Eye for an Eye'
|
|
"The anger that leads to
conflict, to murder, to war goes back a
long, long time. It began innocently
enough. Most of the time when we are
speaking with another, we fail to be
mindful of what we are saying. We speak
without thinking. We may have carelessly
said something and hurt another’s
feelings, but all the while we were
unaware of what we had done. We may not have
realized it, but we had
contributed to planting another seed of
anger in the consciousness of the other
person."
