Episode 222: Preventing Anger

Longtime Buddhist Teacher, JoAnn Fox, explores five powerful Buddhist antidotes to anger and aversion:

patience acceptance

recognizing karma

remembering impermanence

seeing other people or challenges as spiritual teachers

compassion

Learn how to meet challenges with wisdom instead of reaction. Buddha reminds us that peace isn't about avoiding pain; it's about understanding it.

By practicing a simple yet profound method, W.A.I.T What Am I Thinking, we begin to free ourselves from the fires of aversion and cultivate genuine calm instead. In this way, we can transform difficult people and situations into profound opportunities for spiritual growth.

"Because I am patient and do no wrong to those who harm me, I have become a refuge to many." - Buddha
