How a Tibetan Buddhist Nun Works With Her Anger
Thubten Chodron is an American Tibetan Buddhist Nun and the founder of Sravasti Abbey, the only Tibetan Buddhist training monastery in the United States. In her recently re-released book Working With Anger, Thubten describes different practices for dealing with our anger that don't involve expression or suppression.\nOn this week\u2019s episode of Everyday Better, Thubten and Leah explore the Buddhist perspective on some of the toughest emotions we experience, including anger. While many of us believe that anger is useful or even righteous, Thubten argues that anger distorts our perception of reality. She encourages us to reframe our anger using techniques such as meditation, self-reflection and humor.\nFollow Leah Smart on LinkedIn.\nFollow Thubten Chodron on LinkedIn.\nTo learn more about the Buddhist perspective on anger, check out Thubten\u2019s book Working with Anger: Buddhist Teachings on Patience, Acceptance, and Transforming Negativity.
