Anger Sorrow May

More From Tryon Edwards

When we are angry, our anger is our very self. to suppress or chase away our anger is to suppress or chase away ourselves. when anger is born, we can be aware that anger is an energy in us, and we can change that energy into another kind of energy. if we want to transform it, first we have to know how to accept it.
Anger Self Energy
Your anger is like a flower. in the beginning you may not understand the nature of your anger, or why it has come up. but if you know how to embrace it with the energy of mindfulness, it will begin to open. you may be sitting, following your breathing, or you may be practicing walking meditation to generate the energy of mindfulness and embrace your anger. after ten or twenty minutes your anger will have to open herself to you, and suddenly, you will see the true nature of your anger. it may have arisen just because of a wrong perception or the lack of skillfulness.
Flower Anger Walking Meditation
Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.
Hands Sorrow Able
Anger cannot be overcome by anger. if someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. on the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite - love, compassion, tolerance and patience - not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.
Compassion Hands Opposites
I will trust him. whatever, wherever i am, i can never be thrown away. if i am in sickness, my sickness may serve him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve him; if i am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve him. my sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. he does nothing in vain.
Sorrow Doe May
Joy is hidden in sorrow and sorrow in joy. if we try to avoid sorrow at all costs, we may never taste joy, and if we are suspicious of ecstasy, agony can never reach us either. joy and sorrow are the parents of our spiritual growth.

The church's note must be a supernatural note which distinguishes incarnation from immanence, redemption from evolution, the kingdom of god from mere spiritual process.
Spiritual Church Redemption
In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. when we neither punish nor reproach evildoers . . . we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.
