Dhammapada
Can I quietly observe the anger or resentment that arose in my heart today?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Of all the vast scriptures of Buddhism, this book holds the most concise and poetic teaching. Beyond any single religion, has there ever been another classic that saw through the workings of the human mind with such transparency? The plain verses telling us not to repay hatred with hatred, but to conquer only with love, wipe clean the clouded mirror of my busy, clamorous heart. When the mind loses its way and hatred toward someone begins to sprout, a single verse is enough to grant deep solace and peace. It is a fine book to read on a quiet morning, with a cup of tea.
"Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased."Buddha (traditional), Dhammapada
"증오는 증오에 의해서는 결코 종식되지 않는다. 오직 사랑에 의해서만 종식된다. 이것은 영원한 진리다."

The moment anger or a sense of injustice arises, don't react. Close your eyes, take three slow breaths, and watch your emotion from the outside. The waves in your mind will settle.
