I think about this a lot on social media that actually we're kind of almost directly told that anger is the correct emotion. And if you're not enacting anger, then you're not engaged enough somehow. It often strikes me that that's actually quite a dangerous idea to put about because of the very toxic effect of anger on the body. We might learn an angry response from other people around us as well. I am disrupting whatever harm is happening, not because I want you or others to hurt. I want people to be free from suffering. And this is what I'm choosing to do to free people from suffering, including myself in this moment.
Many of us are enduring a painful new awareness of the conflicts that underpin our social relationships. For Buddhist teacher Lama Rod Owens, this is the beginning of a revolutionary path to our liberation - a necessary upheaval that will rebalance us forever.
In this profound, perspective-shifting conversation, we are urged to stop looking for short-cuts and panaceas for our suffering, and instead to engage with the deep, transformative work of change.
