Replace Anger with Tolerance - The sixth chapter of the Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life is considered to be a special magical precept from Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, for replacing anger with tolerance. The essence is: Why get upset if you can do something about something? And if you can't do anything about it, then why get upset? -Robert Thurman, “Rising to the Challenge: Cool Heroism”
I see many people work themselves into a mass of anger over a situation which they may have not created, and which they cannot control. I realize that often the anger is about the injustice of a situation, or, I should say, the perceived injustice in the situation.
Often too, the anger is about not tolerating anything that seems to be a compromise. In this case, the ego is so strong that everything must be either the person’s way, or they erupt in anger.
If we avoid getting upset, often we can see a different way to resolve our feelings because we can see a solution for the situation. It is hard to think outside the box if we are sitting in the box and stewing about it.
