I like the idea that anger is just another side of loving kindness. We get angry with other people when we want to control them for, we think, their own good, but they resist or don't understand. We need to turn this wrong attitude into one just of wanting the best for others without our having to exert control.

What you are describing reminds me of non-attachment. We would probably benefit the most from loving-kindness without clinging to a certain outcome, especially when that outcome is, like you mention, outside of one's control. To have the wisdom of the latter - the extent of our control in the present moment - would be another skill worth developing. If I understand Buddhism correctly, the pathological desires (tanha) that lead to unnecessary, if not all, suffering (dukkha) can be characterized by the following 3 poisons: * Delusion (ignorance, confusion) * Attachment (greed, lust) * Aversion (Anger, hate, disgust) Reassuringly, the more wholesome desires (chanda) that can free us from some, if not all, suffering can be characterized by the following 3 antidotes: * Non-Delusion (Wisdom) * Non-Attachment (Generosity) * Non-Aversion (Loving-Kindness) For a long time, I severely misunderstood the 3rd noble truth. I thought his holiness was advocating for the complete absence of desire. However, now I believe that, during this lifetime at least, this is impossible. The best thing we can do while we are bound to all the impermanent conditions of our reality is to curate our desires to the best of our abilities.

"You want to do better", so true. Anger is always anger at one's own weakness.

You are not alone. Angry impermanent. So lets we diligenly practice love and compassion to ourself and all sentient being. If we full love and compassion then we peace mind, calm and patient. Have bless day .
I have realized that a lot of my anger, resentment, anger, fear guilt, and sadness is love and compassion for myself at the core because they are there to push me to so better and because I am not being my true potential.

Controlling our emotions is probably the hardest thing, specially when we're angry, jealous or needy. I hope I get to find the loving compassion within these negative emotions.
This is why we have to be so careful these days when everyone wants to "cancel" someone just for having different feelings or opinions than theirs. It's often not as extreme as people fear. But, even in the case of outright, more extreme hatred, if it is met with more hatred and extremism, it can't help, and we are seeing that. I am so grateful for this message and the perspective shift. I'm sad so many people claim they want to help change the world to a more compassionate place, yet they are still saying and doing things to others that encourage the opposite. Things are so intense and reactive these days, we definitely all need this wisdom. I pray we absorb it well for the betterment of humanity (myself included!) 💖

This is really wonderful ...I have been feeling anger with politicians and scientists in my country at the coronavirus times and I see how it is because there is loving kindness there in it .. Already feel transformation....and understand that they ...the politicians and scientists believe their thoughts so they cannot help what they do ....
Namaste 🙏🙏

Happy birthday mentor rimpochi ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We spend all our time lost in thought. Recognizing anger in the mind and body in a state of mindful awareness inherently shortens the half life of said anger. In other words don’t add fuel to the anger and hatred fire. You have to think of reasons why you’re angry to remain angry. You have to think of reasons why you hate to continue hatred. Simply acknowledge the feelings of anger and hatred as another appearance in consciousness and you will find it dissipates.
This needs more views!
Brilliant!
I love his vibe. This was a wonderful talk. His talk about how to meditate is priceless. Thank you for being you.

Nice video. I really appreciate the message you are trying to get across. I wish we were all capable of understanding each other at a conceptual level rather than just through linguistics and body language though. That sure would clear up a lot of miscommunication!

I got to practice this in real time. I got a text that made me angry as I was reading the comments. 😅 I think I can see what he means... I looked deeper and felt angry because I felt hurt, rejected, misunderstood ... (essentially; unloved) and therefore angry at the other person for not loving me, because ultimately I want love. Is that right? Feeling compassion for myself underneath, as well, as a result. Could it be we are often angry because we feel we are not getting the love and connections we crave or feel we deserve?
THANKS
great video
what we focus on affects our perception and its underlying experience? if we focus on loving kindness, underlying everything is loving kindness? how about hatred? or confusion? this gets to me.
Nicely explained
Have a different relationship with your thoughts as love and hate is complementary and one cannot exist without the other. Hold them together and accept them and be at peace!
he's so calming and relaxing. this is how a true monk should be. his other recent videos though I'm not a big fan he speaks to loud lol.
He talks about hatred for others and hatred for self, then gives a really good example and explanation of turning hatred for self into loving kindness, by recognising that at the base of it, hatred for self might be an expression of a need to be better. So, the need to be better is what on the surface seems like self hatred. Can anyone give a similar example or explanation of how to turn feelings of hatred for others into loving kindness? What aspect of loving kindness could be at the base of hatred for others? Especially feelings of hatred towards other people who have harmed or wronged you.
