Feel angry

In Feel the Rage , His Holiness the Dalai Lama brings to light the feeling of anger as a fuel for change.

It may seem contradictory to use the word "anger" and the name of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in the same book. After all, the Dalai Lama's message has always been one of love and compassion. However, in today's world, there is much to be angry about: injustice, social and economic inequality, racism, and ignorance. And this book is here to tell you: feel anger. There are two ways to express anger. The first arises from compassion; it is useful and should be encouraged. The other arises from jealousy and envy and results in hatred, ill will, and suffering.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches in "Feel the Rage" that it is wrong for a spiritual person to remain indifferent to the suffering around them. We must strive to solve the problems that surround us and that arouse indignation within us. In "Feel the Rage ," His Holiness teaches us to question and seek the meaning of everyday and religious rituals, as well as our own emotions—especially anger.

This book illuminates the feeling of anger as a fuel for change. In it, the reader will learn that only by recognizing anger, how we deal with it, how we store it, and how we express it, can we use it to achieve compassionate anger—a motivating force that can transform negativity into positive and change the world.
