iCalm

iCalm: Overcome Anger the Zen Way

Buddha Jewel Monastery, Seattle

Since this is a fairly complicated topic with many ideas, I tried to organize it so that it's easy to remember. A good name is half the success, right?

i: internal, introspection, i generated it, i can overcome it
C: Causality, changes
A: Acceptance
L: Let go, learn from adversity
M: Mindfulness

It takes several hours to explain these principles.
But ultimately, one word is enough: illusion.
Anger is an illusion; it comes from a wounded ego. When the illusive ego is eliminated, we'll have true inner peace.
