Anger
Sometimes people get angry with us,
Sometimes we get angry with people,
We are boiling mad!
They are boiling mad!
Because of anger,
We lost all concentration,
We have no mindfulness,
We only get anger.
Why do they angry?
Because they do not obtain their wishes,
Because we do not follow their ways,
So they get angry with us.
Why do we get angry?
Because we do not obtain our wishes,
So we get angry with ourselves and them.
So anger burns ourselves exhaustively.
How to cure anger?
Realizing anger is hatred-root,
Realizing anger is due to attachment,
When we desire it, but cannot get it,
So desire leads to hatred.
To stop anger is easy,
Just stop the attachment,
Just stop the desire,
Just aware things are impermanent.
Why cling to impermanent things,
Since this body is also impermanent,
Since this life is also impermanent,
We can take nothing from this life, except own good deeds.
Anger spoils good deeds,
It weakens good intention,
It causes one look like 'selfish old girl/boy'
It makes one very egoistic.
Beware of anger!
It is an evil one!
It pretends that we are right,
But actually we are wrong.
It spoils our good reputation,
It spoils our good nature,
It leaves nothing but rotten nature.
It leaves nothing except guilt.
