In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. This is a helpful pointer for our everyday presence-practice. Can you catch yourself angrily defending your point of view or attacking the other person's? There's the ego.
Gautama BuddhaConquer anger by love, evil by good; Conquer the miser with liberality, and the liar with truth.
Gautama BuddhaLive in joy and love even among those who hate; live in joy and peace even among the troubled.
Gautama BuddhaDoing the good deeds is like the grass in the garden. You don't see its growth. But, it does by days. Doing the wicked deeds is like the hone. You don't see its damage. But, it does by days.
Gautama Buddha
