By taking a look at your anger it can be transformed into the kind of energy that you need - understanding and compassion.
Nhat HanhHappiness and suffering support each other. To be is to inter-be. It's like the left and the right. If the left is not there, the right cannot be there. The same is true with suffering and happiness, good and evil.
Nhat HanhIf we take something to be the truth, we may cling to it so much that when the truth comes and knocks on our door, we won't want to let it in.
Nhat HanhOur joy, peace and happiness depend very much on our practice of recognizing and transforming habit energies. There are positive habit energies that we have to cultivate, and negative habit energies that we have to recognize, embrace and transform. The energy with which we do these things is mindfulness.
