Smile To Your Anger – Parallax Press

When you get angry, go back to yourself, and take very good care of your anger. And when someone makes you suffer, go back and take care of your suffering, your anger. Do not say or do anything.

Look deeply into your anger, and you might see that your anger has been created by your wrong perceptions, wrong views, and misunderstanding; and when you realize that, your anger is transformed.

Knowing that anger makes me ugly, I smile instead. I return to myself and meditate on love.

We can learn to smile even when tears are streaming down our face. We can learn to smile when anger is rising in us or when a harsh thought or feeling is brewing in us. If we remember to breathe and smile, that thought and feeling will lose its momentum and subside quickly.

When anger occurs, recognize it; neither suppress it or give vent to it. Surround the person who has caused the anger with your compassion and understanding. You should be gentle with your anger. It is not different than yourself.”
