that I can put an end to anger, eradicate it along with the reasons that give rise to it, once and for all!”
Don't try to jump over your head. If on Friday you decided that you will not invite “Dr. Frankenstein” to visit you at least until Monday, and by Saturday you are already yearning for him, pray. Mentally imagine the light emanating from enlightened beings. Let this light fill your body and wash away from you all your filth, all hatred, all anger and irritability. Feel how all the bad things leave you. You are now happy, open and wise, and your body is filled with light. This meditation is thousands of years old. Great mentors and spiritual teachers have recommended its use to help ourselves and others overcome anger.

The practical core of Buddhism consists of the following principles:
- Do not commit evil
- Do good
- All thoughts are pure
One Chan teacher was asked about the essence of Buddhist teachings, and when he listed the above principles, the interlocutor said with disappointment: “And a three-year-old child can fully understand this.” To which the Chan teacher replied: “And an eighty-year-old man will not be able to fully implement this.”

To be happy, you need to achieve perfection in the moral, social and spiritual spheres.
You should not strive only for physical health and the joys of life. One must persistently strive to control the mind. He who becomes a slave to his mind inevitably becomes weak, no matter how powerful he may be.
So you have to make the mind your obedient servant. The power of the mind is incomparable. It is from the mind that the most precious virtues come. If wealth is lost, it can be earned again. If health is lost, it can be restored with the help of a qualified doctor. But if human values are lost, human life becomes a waste.
Human values are the need of this time. They cannot be acquired solely from sacred texts and cannot be transmitted by learned masters. They come from within. When we develop noble thoughts and follow the path of truth in our daily lives, human values blossom within us and protect us under all circumstances.

How much time you spend studying each day is not as important as how regularly and focused you are in searching for answers to questions. If the teacher chews everything out for the student, he will live someone else’s life, with all the ensuing consequences. Everywhere your own experience is important, not the experience of others. The teacher can show you the path, but you still have to walk along it yourself.
Some areas of your life are unbalanced and out of balance, but these same areas can be brought into a balanced state of being, and this is the main task before us. There are three causes of imbalance: ignorance, hatred and desire. But in themselves they are neither bad nor good. The concepts of good and evil do not apply here. Rather, we are dealing only with imbalance and balance. We do not limit ourselves to discussing the spiritual side of our life or its more prosaic side, but look at the whole of life. With unbalanced behavior, a person does not properly resolve his difficulties. His actions are inappropriate. One action runs counter to the other, and the overall effect turns out to be half-hearted. And all because the person is not fully aware of the situation, does not feel his presence in it. At each subsequent moment in time, he does everything not quite correctly, because before he has time to finish one task, he is already in a hurry to take on the next. This creates a kind of indigestion in the
mind because something is always left half-eaten, as if you were only half eating a fruit.

Light to yourself
Gautama Buddha's last words were: Be your own light. Don't follow others, don't imitate, because imitation and following creates stupidity. You are born with an immense capacity for intelligence. You are born with light inside. Listen to that small, quiet voice inside and it will give you direction. Nobody else can give you direction, nobody else can model your life, because you are unique. There has never been anyone exactly like you before, and there will never be anyone exactly like you again. This is your glory, your splendor - that you are absolutely irreplaceable, that you are yourself and no one else.
By following others, you can instill a beautiful character in yourself, but you cannot achieve a beautiful consciousness, and unless you have a beautiful consciousness, you can never be free. You can continue to exchange one prison for another, you can continue to exchange one chain for another, one slavery for another. You may be a Hindu or a Muslim, a Christian or a Jain - it

will not help you. To be a Jain is to accept Mahavira as a role model. But there has never been anyone like Mahavira, and there never can be. By following Mahavira you will become a false entity. You will lose reality, you will lose all sincerity, you will no longer be true to yourself. You will become artificial, unnatural, and to be artificial, unnatural is the path of mediocrity, a fool, a fool.
Buddha defines wisdom as living in the light of one's own consciousness, and stupidity as following others, imitating others, becoming the shadow of someone else.
A true master creates masters, not followers. A true master throws you back to yourself. His whole effort is to make you independent of him, because you have been dependent for centuries and it has taken you nowhere. You still continue to stumble in the dark night of the soul.
Only your inner light can become the dawn. The false master convinces you to follow him, to imitate him, to be copied from him. A true master will not allow you to be a reprint, he wants you to be the original. He loves you! How can he force you to imitate? He feels compassion for you, he wants you to be extremely free - free from all external dependencies.
But the ordinary human being does not want to be free. It wants to be dependent. It wants someone to lead it. Why? - because then a person can shift all responsibility onto the shoulders of someone else. And the more responsibility you place on other people’s shoulders, the less likely it is that you will ever become free. It is responsibility, the challenge of responsibility, that generates wisdom.
A person must accept life - with all its problems. A person must go through life unprotected; he must find his way through research. Life is an opportunity, a challenge to find yourself. But the fool does not want to take the difficult path; the fool chooses to cut the corner. He says to himself, “Buddha has achieved—why should I care about this? I'll just watch how he behaves and imitate him. Jesus has reached, why should I seek and search? I may become just a shadow of Jesus. I can just follow him wherever he leads.”
But by following someone else, how are you going to become intelligent? You won't give your mind even the slightest chance to blossom. For intelligence to emerge, it takes a life of challenge, a life of adventure, a life that can take risks and move into the unknown. And only the mind can save you—no one else. Your own mind, keep in mind, your own awareness can become your nirvana.
Be a light to yourself and you will be wise; allow others to be your leaders, your guides, and you will remain stupid and constantly miss all the treasures of life - which could be yours.

Practice of mental cleansing of anger
Anger is the source of destructive rage, which leads to misfortunes and the most tragic consequences. Anger manifests itself in mistreatment of people, violence and even murder. If you want to succeed in your relationships, then you must make an effort to remove the poisoned arrow of anger from your inner consciousness.
The best antidote to anger is to practice calmness.
Calmness is the ability to control your emotions whenever you feel anger rising and building somewhere in the depths of your consciousness.
There are many ways to use calmness, but the best place to start is by recognizing that anger is destructive by its very nature and that you must let go of it.
When the will and desire to overcome anger appears in your consciousness, then you can consider that half the work has already been done.
3 stages of practicing calmness
Mindfulness is the development of alertness to angry thoughts.
Conscious breathing is delaying the reaction to emerging

Mindfulness is the development of alertness to angry thoughts.
Conscious breathing is delaying the reaction to emerging
anger, not allowing it to manifest itself in any actions.
Realizing calmness is changing your mood.
Awareness of Anger
To bring awareness to anger, you can try the proven practice of making lists:
First, make a list of everything that makes you anxious. Many people get angry when something goes wrong and violates their plans or expectations. People often become irritable when they are not aware of their thirst or hunger.
Then make a list of the people who make you angry most often. Put on this list everyone you don't like, those acquaintances you consider inferior to you, and those people you hate.
Then write down what times of day and what days of the week you are more likely to get angry. Some people, for example, are very irritable in the morning or during the first few days of the week.
Think carefully about why certain people and events make you so angry. This very thinking reduces the possibility of anger.
Conscious breathing
Developing the ability to delay your response to emerging anger requires the use of mindful breathing. Breathe deeply, thinking about the reason for the anger growing in the depths of your consciousness. Wait a few seconds. Remember that your back should be straight at this time.
You will discover that your breath has truly magical powers.
When you develop this ability to delay the response to anger that arises, not allowing it to manifest itself in any action, you will pass the second stage of dealing with anger. This result can only be achieved through continuous practice.
Realization of tranquility
Realizing peace requires a change in your attitude.
What exactly needs to be done?
Here's what. Firstly, it is best to try not to encounter those people who irritate and bother you. Secondly, decide to stop interacting with them on a tit-for-tat basis. Thirdly, consciously first notice the positive sides in people and situations, and only then...
Practice a different way of looking at the world. Use directed attention techniques.

Buddha taught us to renounce all forms of evil and develop virtues. This is the right way. By teaching us this, the Buddha takes us to the beginning of the path. Having taken the path, whether we follow it or not depends on us. The Buddha's work is now complete. He shows the way, the right one and the wrong one. This is enough, the rest is up to us.

In order to enjoy tea, you must be fully awake by now. Only by being aware of the present can you feel the warmth of the cup in your hands. Only in the present tense can you enjoy its aroma, taste, subtlety and sophistication.
If you dwell on the past or worry about the future, you will miss out on the experience of enjoying tea. You will look at the cup but not notice the tea in it. Life is exactly the same. If you are not fully present in it, then it will pass by. You will miss the feeling, the aroma, the colors and the beauty of life. It will seem like she is slipping away from you. The past is over.

20 tips from psychologist Dale Carnegie
Writer, psychologist and teacher Dale Carnegie thought and lived by the principle “there are no bad people in the world.” There are only unpleasant circumstances that can be easily changed just by changing your attitude towards them. Therefore, you should not ruin the lives and mood of others because of them.
He also developed his own concept of conflict-free and successful communication. His theory had many supporters and many opponents - in a word, no one remained indifferent. And his advice is really worth listening to:
1. Every person is a fool for at least five minutes a day. The real wisdom is not to exceed this time limit.
2. If fate gives you a lemon, make lemonade out of it.
3. Know how to take the position of another person and understand what he needs, not you. The whole world will be with the one who can do this.
