Anger is hungry
Feed it not
And love takes its place

[Nengei]

Lovely, Seikan.

To find purity of interaction
You must not let the pot boil over
Cool it, quickly, and become still!

Not backbiting,
Not gaslighting!

Thank you all for your practice. It's good to see the ways in which you process these truths.

gassho, Shokai

Thank you all. Not much to add.

Learning to walk away from fire, not straight into it!

Gassho, Yokai (Chris) sat/lah

Learning to walk away from fire, not straight into it!

Not always an easy lesson. Use compassion, intent and patience.
