Ajahn Chah (Ajahn Brahm's late mentor) put it best when he asked "Is anger yours? If it's yours why can't you just ask it to go away?" So just as we don't own "our" body, we too don't own "our" anger (or any other emotional state for that matter). They just arise on their own. The problem starts when you claim them as "yours." Anger is not the problem but the possession. You think it's yours, so you are then affected by it. When anger is there but you don't consider it yours, then there's no one to take the burden. Only that.

But how come it hurts even when I do not claim it as mine? It does fade away quickly if I do not claim it, but it still feels like an experience that is hurting.

@winterpurple4587 Год назад

@@silentfriend369 good question. The experience is no different from a firefighter who braves the fire, or a sea rescuer who braves the water. The firefighter does not own the fire yet still feels the heat. Similarly, the sea rescuer doesn't own the water yet still gets wet. When going through various dark or negative emotional states, or in any situation where it feels unbearable, it is normal to feel the 'sting.' Remember the firefighter who feels the heat; the sea rescuer who gets wet. We Are That. But the person who understand what's going on is not affected by the feeling. The firefighter continues his work in spite of 'feeling' the heat; the sea rescuer continues his work in spite of 'feeling' wet. Likewise we are unaffected by various emotional states when we understand the nature of the mind. It doesn't make us numb, only impervious. :)

This is very helpful...anger and irritation is something I've been trying to find helpful ways of working with, and this is truly useful in seeing these emotions properly. Thank you.

I enjoyed this talk, that forgiveness is understanding what lead another to do something hurtful and feeling compassion for their circumstances. That when forgiveness is reached, the anger loosens its grip. I think one reason people may struggle with forgiveness is if forgiveness is conflated with different things such as trust, forgetting or denying history, or avoiding accountability. Emotions aren’t inherently bad, anger is what is felt when you or someone have been hurt. It is a messenger and driver to act in a way that would protect oneself and others from the perceived threat. It is possible to forgive someone, but not trust them if trust has not been earned over time. It is possible to forgive, but maintain strong boundaries. It is possible to forgive, but press charges or testify against them in court.

Ajahn mentioned about Auswitz - Nazi concentration camp in Poland. .Unfartunatelly, he not precized that it was German camp in occupied Poland. It may by misleading for people not familiar with history.

I guess where do you draw the line between staying to be abused or fight back or just walking away. But what if you can’t walk away

The venerable monk who I admire made a huge mistaking by saying that Buddha was born in India. No he was born in Nepal. Modi the Indian PM on his visit to Nepal and addressing the Nepali Parliament categorically admitted that Buddha was born in Nepal. Kindly request the monk not to make this mistake again. It hurts Nepali sentiments. Thank you.

To generalise and say " the illusion of connectivity of technology" is a judgment. This seems contradictory to Buddhist teaching. I feel a strong connection to all who are physically present there and to all the people who are watching online

@sakamotosan1887 Год назад

Agreed, but I think there are degrees of this. Social media can often give us the illusion of connection when we are isolating ourselves, when really we are just comparing ourselves with others. Technology is a tool, neither good nor bad. Use it wisely. I know I don't, but I am working on that.

@Alphacentauri819 Год назад

It is an illusion of connectivity! Can it be used to connect? Yes...but most often it doesn't. It is illusory due to the fact of immediacy and technological "connection". Much of the connection is a pseudo connection, with much barrier between true intimacy. Many fall for the delusion that they are more connected than they are. It is a tool, and to mistake it for the real dynamic of person to person intimacy is false.
