Why do we get angry?

Anger is a powerful emotion that can often leave us feeling helpless, frustrated, and out of control. However, Gen-la Dekyong gives us the good news that understanding why we get angry can actually be our greatest ally in developing a more constructive response to life’s challenges. This extract is taken from a teaching given by Gen-la Dekyong at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre, UK and is based on the book How to Solve our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
