Dealing with Anger

Glen Svensson · 81 minutes

Anger, defined here as always carrying the intention to harm, and why Buddhism recommends patience and compassion in its place rather than a right amount of anger at the right time. Glen Svensson guides a practice on occasions when you got angry, on criticism valid and invalid, and on dissecting the irritating person until words are only sounds. He then introduces cognitive fusion, fusing a person and their behaviour into one thing, which turns rejection of an act into attack on the person.

Anger and aversion Anxiety and fear Attachment and craving Buddhist psychology Habits and change Patience, forbearance and acceptance Compassion (karuna) Loving kindness (metta) The four immeasurables
