ANGER

The Buddha says:

Let go of anger,
Let go of pride.
When you are bound by nothing
You go beyond sorrow.

Anger is like a chariot careening wildly.
He who cubs his anger is the true charioteer.
Others merely hold the reins.

With gentleness overcome anger.
With generosity overcome meanness.
With truth overcome deceit.

Speak the truth.  
Give whatever you can.
Never be angry.
These three steps will lead you
Into the presence of the gods.
