Although people have read these articles, they have made up their minds to control their emotions, but when it comes to their own head, it's hard for them to control their emotions and not get angry.

If the world's methods are not effective, you may want to understand some Buddhist theories.

There is a Buddhist story that goes like this:

A Buddhist monk happened to go out and was hit by a big man, and his glasses fell off.

A Buddhist story goes like this:

A Buddhist monk happened to go out, but he was hit by a big man, and his glasses fell off!

At this time, the master thought, the world of law is born of karma and harmony, there are good karma and bad karma, the only way to solve the bad karma is to rely on compassion, so the master decided to deal with this matter with an open heart.

The strong man saw that the Venerable Master was not angry and asked, "Monk, why are you not angry?"

The Venerable Master then took the opportunity to enlighten him and said, "It's useless to be angry. Anger can't make the glasses recover, and it can't make the bruise on your face go away. Besides, anger will only enlarge the matter, if I swear at you, I will create more bad karma, make more bad karma, and even hurt my body, which will not solve the matter.

In terms of karma, I could have avoided the collision by opening the door a minute earlier or a minute later, but we bumped into each other, and perhaps this collision resolved a bad karma in our past. Therefore, I am not only not angry, but also want to thank you to help me eliminate karmic obstacles ah!"

After hearing this, the strong man was very touched in his heart, and left in a state of enlightenment.

This Buddhist story contains a lot of Buddhist truths that can help us not to get angry when we encounter things that we should be angry about.

Buddhism emphasizes the law of karma, which states that the first branch of the karma gives rise to the second branch, and if the first branch is gone, the second branch will never exist.

Based on this reasoning, the color, receptivity, thought, action, knowledge of the five aggregates of happiness, anger, sadness and joy, they are impermanent, their existence is in certain conditions and circumstances, if the conditions and circumstances change, happiness, anger, sadness and joy of these feelings, will also be changed.

What is the reason that triggers each of our joys and sorrows? Let yourself go with the heart, then happy; against their will or someone violated their rights, then angry ------ This is all my obsession in the blame.

Buddhism advocates the elimination of the I see, opposed to the things that can not always exist as the "I's", if you break the bondage of the I see, so that we are happy to break the cause of anger and sadness in addition to the natural people do not have any bad mood, there will be no angry situation.

Buddhism also asserts that nothing happens by chance, but is the result of a confluence of causes, so Buddhists are more "happy" to face whatever comes their way, and to turn bad things into good things.

When all the world's methods fail to help you control your emotions, it may be helpful to learn something about Buddhism. Buddhism may seem profound, but if you can apply it to your life, you'll be the happiest person in the eyes of others.
