Anger

"...we must understand that the mind of hatred is our true enemy. The thing that needs to be pacified is not the external environment, but the hatred within our mind. Therefore, how to remain unmoved within our mind when we encounter these harmful places is the key issue. This is our target to practice and vow to obtain experiential understanding of this transformation thus gaining wisdom..."
-Garchen Rinpoche-

"Anger needs to be controlled, but not hidden from yourself - [you must] recognize your reactions; do not deny them. If you do, your compassion will be superficial. There are two classes of emotions. One needs to be expressed, talked about, two is anger, strong attachment and strong desire, there is no natural end to these. For instance, if anger is expressed, tomorrow there may be more; whereas, if you try to minimize your anger, it will weaken... giving anger words and actions is like giving a child a pile of straw and a box of matches"
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
