“Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath. Breathe in deeply to bring your mind home to your body. Then look at, or think of, the person triggering this emotion: with mindfulness, you can see that they are unhappy and suffering. You can see their wrong perceptions. You'll feel motivated by a desire to say or do something to help the other person suffer less. This means compassionate energy has been born in your heart. And when compassion appears, anger is deleted.” ThinkingFeelsMindLooksHeartMeanPersonsHas BeensHelpingHomeWisdomBodyDesireSufferingTurnsEnergyBornEmotionConsciousnessCompassionFocusPerceptionMindfulnessBreathsBottomStormBreatheYour BodyUnhappyRisingMotivatedCompassionateRising Up Author:Nhat Hanh
