About this listen
1) What is love to you?
2) "Righteous anger" is a topic on which you recently spoke. What do you mean by righteous anger? Doesn’t everybody think their anger is righteous? How do I know if my anger is righteous, or is just my point of view?
3) Anger is a tricky subject in Buddhist teachings. Shantideva calls it "the most extreme negative force." Yet we know that repressing our feelings is never a good idea. Can you offer a practice for people who want to find that sweet spot of dealing with anger skillfully?
4) Would you say that the best approach is to transform the feeling of anger, or to use righteous anger to transform our world?
5) (Question of the week) Spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle says often: "For some, suffering is their greatest teacher." The Persian poet, Rumi, writes: "Suffering is a gift in its hidden mercy." What purpose does suffering serve in our lives?
