Anger Destroys Your Happiness - Teaching #130

Lama Zopa Rinpoche continued his video teachings on thought transformation from Amitabha Buddhist Centre in Singapore in August. Here is a summary of the teaching offered on August 10, 2022:It is very important to understand how anger destroys your happiness. By getting angry at a bodhisattva, our merits are destroyed, we will be reborn in hell, and realizations will be delayed. And by getting angry at a buddha, even more merit is destroyed. Since we cannot tell who is a bodhisattva and who is a buddha, we have to be very, very careful of anger and put so much effort into practicing patience. We can train our mind to practice patience, it gets easier the more we practice. Since anger is the cause of hell suffering, we should stop it. Therefore, motivate every morning to practice patience. Otherwise, anger suddenly arises. You have to prepare yourself with determination to stop it.
