Lesson 1

Understanding The Nature Of Anger

In this lesson, we explore the nuances of the nature of anger itself. Anger can be a very destructive force in our life straining our relationships and interactions with other people forever. Not to mention the havoc it causes within us as well. The Teacher narrates personal accounts of how this has affected his life over the years and how it has now transformed into something beautiful! We dive into the idea that anger is not a fixed identity but rather a habit that can be broken or replaced. While most of us believe that anger is an identity that needs to be managed or curtailed, this meditation challenges it by demonstrating it as a behavior that occurs from time-to-time. He argues that understanding the causes of anger will pave the way to dissolving this habit through wisdom. The core concept in understanding the habitual nature of anger is to understand that anger is a reaction to intense sensations in the body, a sudden surge of emotions, and bodily discomfort. Instead of attributing anger to another person or a situation, we experientially understand that anger is a reaction to the sensations that gets triggered by another person or a situation. So, the source of anger is our sensations not the external. These sensations, while uncomfortable, are not as unbearable as they may seem in the heat of the moment. The goal is to help sincere seekers recognize that anger is primarily a collection of sensations and understand that they can learn to manage it. The importance of recognizing these sensations is a crucial step in overcoming the hold of anger in our lives. And to help us cultivate happiness and peace in our lives.

Lesson 2

Inner Work And Body Work

In this lesson, we understand the nature of anger and how it arises in the body. Our reactions to external stimuli are mediated by our body's sensations. For example, a baby's laughter triggers sensations in our belly that lead to laughter. We also make a distinction between outrage and anger; outrage being the universal triggers for anger, such as witnessing cruelty or injustice, and anger being the personal triggers that vary from individual to individual. Anger, particularly the kind that causes personal suffering and leads to destructive behavior, is a sign of inner turmoil. We need to understand the personal aspect of anger and work toward releasing the triggers. The Teacher proposes a two-pronged approach: inner work to address triggers and transparency to truth that we may find offensive and the outer work to strengthen our association with the sensations in the body to not react to them. Furthermore, we explore the strategy of enduring sensations without reacting, drawing parallels to enduring discomfort in practices like cold water immersion or intense workouts. By learning to relax into sensations, especially those associated with anger, one can gradually build resilience. This process requires consistent training and effort, but it offers a deeper and more sustainable way to manage anger than quick fixes. A commitment to cultivating wisdom and insight as a path to lasting happiness and inner peace can drastically change the outlook of one's life.

I’ve lived with my anger for many years without understanding these principals. I became stuck in the past experiences that I believed created the anger. Thank you for these guidelines and truths.
