Have we ever paused to think about why all the statues and figures of Sakhya Muni Gautama Buddha are so calm, serene, and forever smiling? Let us juxtapose this compassionate picture with an individual whose mind is cannonaded with antipathetic thoughts and angry. The Enlightened One would be compassionate towards such a person, while any other person would find such an individual repulsive.
What is anger?
Anger is a strong emotion of being extremely upset or vexed because of an event, a failure in life or some mental upheaval. It is a feeling which triggers an impulse in an individual which makes a person lose control and react violently either verbally, physically or both.
Invariably three kinds of anger are exhibited when a person loses control over his emotions. These are expressed in the form of passive aggression, open aggression, and assertive anger. We have learnt from history that Siddhartha, the prince, first went on to become Gautama, the monk, through rigorous penance. Upon grasping the quintessential truth, he became Buddha, the Enlightened One.
Buddha discovered the secrets of life by annihilating and sublimating his ego and understood the truth to live in the present. The present moment is inevitable. It is like the breath we inhaled... it is the past and the one we are inhaling is the present.
