MASKS AND VOLUMES.

We can not escape the hatred of hatred by the method of suppressing the feelings. We need to cultivate drugs that counter the anger: it is patience and generosity.
 

Nurturing these two qualities, we actually engage in a war of hatred. Every war, we hope to win, but also to prepare the spirit to accept when losing.
 

Understanding that, you will accept that you will encounter many problems in the process of fighting it. You need the ability and perseverance to win anger, just like a hero.

We learn and reflect, will have the knowledge and inspiration to nurture patience, tolerance, and will be careful when faced with anger. Normally, because we do not pay attention, we get angry. But when one becomes aware of it, it is a precaution, not to allow it to work.

Hatefulness has very clear and immediate consequences. Once the anger arises, our peaceful mind disappears right away. The ability to judge right, wrong in our mind is also buried.

Physically, too, anger changes our face. Even if you want to be calm when you are too lazy, your face is very hard to see, and the person is bursting with annoying waves that make people feel instantly. They will feel like our body is puffing, smoking. Not only humans but also dogs and cats want to avoid people who are si anger, hatred. The person who is angry will eat not good, sleep peace and mind very tense.
 

For the reasons mentioned above anger is considered as my enemy. The internal enemy has only one goal: to harm us. That is the true enemy, to harm us now and in the long run.
 

It is different from normal enemies. Enemy is us humans, so they have to eat, sleep, have other activities.

They do not spend 24 hours a day just to hurt us. On the contrary, there is no job, no other goal to destroy us. In such a way, we will never allow the other enemy to appear in our minds.

Generally anger is a feeling that if we do not care, it will become increasingly heavy. Letting the greyhound play out, the seeds will be watered, growing bigger and bigger.

When you have a prudent attitude and how to help reduce the intensity, everything will be quiet.

First of all, anger originates from the heart not satisfied. If you are prepared in advance, always nourish your inner being so that you can be satisfied with every situation, and cultivate kindness and compassion, your mind will be peaceful, in the face of rage.

When it comes to making you angry, you should face the anger and separate it. Learn the reasons that make you angry, then, consider how to behave satisfactorily, the result will be good or bad.

Then there is the practice internally, to pave the way to remedy anger: patience and tolerance. It is the best remedy to protect you, avoid the destruction of hatred, hatred. Practice these two qualities.

In life today, patience and tolerance are two virtues that bring us so many lost. First, the desire to nurture these two qualities leads us to the awakened life. No matter how stressful the situation, when one insists on practicing patience and tolerance, one's mind is still peaceful.

When we have difficulty, we have patience, instead of getting angry, we protect ourselves against the bad consequences of anger. When there are angry reactions, not only can not cure the suffering we suffer, but we also create more bad affection for more afflictions.

In response to difficulties with patience and tolerance, we can temporarily suffer, but we will avoid the consequences later. 

To sacrifice, to endure small things, we have the ability to overcome the greater difficulties in the future. For example, as a prisoner, when punished with an arm, he should be able to thank heaven and earth, because he escaped the death penalty.

In Europe, patience and tolerance are considered two virtues. But when you are subjected to aggression or harm, with the reaction of tolerance and tolerance, people often consider you to be weak and passive. I do not support that idea.

The two virtues are derived from the ability to be strong and calm before our difficulties. We should not look at it as weakness.

A person with a new spiritual discipline can respond to every situation with patience and a tolerant, generous mind, rather than anger, anger.

Of course, discussing patience is another matter. There are two types of patience, one good one bad. Not always impatient or bad.

It is like cleaning the house clean, if you are too patient, so slow it is always finished? Also, impatience (impatience) to create world peace, is worth doing.

I think of the connection between tolerance, patience and humility. Humble people decide not to confront, not retaliate although they have the ability. That is true humility.

In my opinion, patience and tolerance are rooted in discipline and self-restraint: even if you have the ability to act to react more aggressively, but you decide not to do so, to choose tolerant patience.

When you are forced to be passive, because you can not do otherwise, you can not react ... it is not true humility. It may be submissive, weak, not humility.

When talking about tolerance towards those who harm us, we should not be misunderstood, but should bow to everything we do. Maybe, when needed, run away, running away, is best?

There are cases where we have to react strongly, to counterattack. But I believe that, in the case of such a reaction, we should maintain our position and act with compassion and kindness towards others, not in anger.

One of the reasons we sometimes need to react strongly is that because people harm us, they will habitually hurt others, themselves, and then suffer a lot. So, we must react when necessary, but with compassion and compassion towards those who harm us.

When we know the methods of nurturing and developing patience, tolerance, we will reach their consequences: forgiveness.

In the past, you have experienced many things that cause you anger, when practicing patience and tolerance, you will release the resentment, negativity.

In deep, that is the past, so when you think back to the si hatred, we can not change the past, but only make our mind sorrowful, unhappy. Of course you can remember the old days.

Forgiveness and forgetfulness are two different things. There is no harm when you remember the old, because your mind is very intelligent, it still remembered forever.

Shakyamuni remembered all the past (the Dalai Lama laughed at this). But as you develop, nurture patience and tolerance, you will release negative feelings that relate to it.

There are two methods of meditation practice to end hatred.
 

Exercise 1:

Imagine being near a loved one who is angry for some reason. He loses his temper, does not control his behavior, emits very negative waves, can torment himself or smash what is within reach.

Take a look at the direct, immediate consequences of anger in that person.
 

You will notice the material changes of the pupil you have loved and are happy to be close. Now, he is angry so he has an ugly face.

I suggest that you contemplate another person, as you will be more aware of your shortcomings. Please meditate, imagine and visualize angry people, about three minutes or so.
 

After meditating on the other person, you analyze the event, the situation, and compare his or her anger with your own experiences. You see how many times you get into the situation that si. You will decide never to let your commandos hate you, for you do not want to suffer the bad consequences of the other. I can be insane, crazy, aggressive and ugly
 

After the determination to practice, continue to focus on that idea, no need to analyze, think more. Just meditate for the last minute on the decisions you made: never let your commander anger.
 

The second exercise:

Imagine a person you do not like. He often bother you, provoke you or make you mad.
 

You imagine that the other person has an action or a word that makes you uncomfortable. You let the reactions in you naturally come out. And you contemplate what makes your heart beat faster.
 

Identify what makes you happy, what's upsetting, what makes you feel safe, restless, etc. in a few minutes, you yourself experience. And finally you come to the conclusion:  "It is useless if we let negative feelings develop, and we lose our peace of mind. Pay attention to this decision in the last minutes of the meditation. I think if I were able to see through your mind in this audience, you would see a great, special performance.
