Dhamma question
Venerable Sayalays. Any tips on how to subdue anger whenever encounter external sorce or stimulant? In real life experience, being total silent can be a temporal measures but for long run it might explode if the external source still persist.
Answer
1) ask yourself, why are you angry?
are you expecting the opposite thing?
2) normally people get angry when facing unpleasant objects, like bad visible sight, unpleasant sound etc.. so, you have to be mindful when the objects coming to your sense doors. the best way is practising insight meditation. you have to be aware of objects coming to your 6 sense doors.
3) Sometimes it is good to train yourself by explosing to bad objects so that you can tolerate them. like for some yogis, they train themselves to see decomposed corpses as it is very ugly.
