Never get angry, even with someone who has deliberately and maliciously harmed you. You should be grateful to such a person for helping you to purify past negative actions, to increase your determination to be free from samsara and to develop love and compassion. ~ Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

I will say this is such great and true advice. Yet I cannot say I never get angry….but I do have less ‘reasons’ for anger which I attribute to reducing my ‘self’/ego.’
The Dalai Lama gets angry. I know because he said so in an interview.
What he doesn’t do is hang on to that anger. He observes it calmly, and lets it go.
As should we all.
Yes, H.H. does get angry. I do not remember if I had read the interview or had listened to it.
You bought up a good point. I would like to expand on this in the near future.
As always thanks Nancy 🙂
