Anger

HF has a bad temper, overwhelming him very easily. Though he regrets after a while, the spilt milk cannot be filled again. It's a natural consequences that he picked up "Anger" by Thich Nhat Hanh as next book after his reading of "This Year I Will...". M.J.Ryan also mentioned in her book that "Anger" is an excellent book for controlling temper.

 

Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames Thich Nhat Hanh

Korean translation is smooth and it was a easy read. The book makes importance on "mindful living". Mindful living means that wherever you go or whatever you do, mind should be there. For example, (1) whatever you eat, sense every taste of the food; (2) when you breathe, sense the in and out of the breathe; (3) when you walk, sense every movement of body. It's a kind of self-discipline in Buddhism. In similar manner, one can keep from anger when one can face and sense anger, the book suggests and M.J.Ryan also mentions. HF determined to try the approach and he picked up "Gem of Buhddist Wisdom" after reading "Anger."
