Anger's Trick

It might be understandable to get angry when someone mistreats us, but it's not inevitable. When we act on anger, it creates negative karma and can lead to rebirth in hell realms. Patro Rinpoche explains that whenever someone hurts you and salts you or accuses you unjustly, the effect as long as you don't lose your temper with that person will be to exhaust many of your past negative actions and obscurations.
