2 likes344 views
The document provides advice for dealing with anger by meeting it with insight rather than anger itself. It suggests viewing another's anger as something internal to them rather than being about any specific thing. When facing anger, one should have sympathy for the angry person as their anger follows them everywhere, and treat one's own anger like a fire that can be subdued rather than inflamed further. The best approach is to meet anger with wisdom, equanimity, and insight rather than responding with anger in return.
