​Akshobhya Buddha Teaches You Not to Get Angry



Do you always get angry? Can you master your mind?
The Buddha once likened anger to throwing dust against the wind—
the dust will eventually fall back on yourself.

How can you avoid being dragged along by anger?

In the Eastern Wondrous Joy World, there is a Buddha named Akshobhya.
His secret to enlightenment is—not getting angry!
Anger is like a burning flame, harming others and oneself.
Yet, Akshobhya Buddha skillfully uses the flame of wisdom, transforming hatred with compassion and contemplating selflessness with wisdom,
thereby filling the human world with warmth and light.

Let us learn from Akshobhya Buddha together:
Reduce resentment and strife, increase compassion and gentle patience,
constantly return to inner peace, and achieve the happiness of letting go everywhere.
