Synopsis

Simple and accessible wisdom from His Holiness the Dalai Lama on how to use compassionate anger for social transformationIn the real world, exploitation exists. In the real world, there is a huge and unjust gap between rich and poor. The question, from a Buddhist perspective, is how should we deal with inequality and social injustice? His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches that it is wrong for a spiritual person to remain indifferent; we must struggle to solve these problems. These problems are brought to our consciousness because they anger us, and this little book teaches us how to deal with that anger.There are two types of anger. One type arises out of compassion and is useful and must be encouraged. The other type arises out of jealousy and envy and results in hatred, ill will, and harm. Here you will learn the Buddhist path to compassionate anger—a motivating force that can transform the negative into the positive and change the world.

A Apologia da Raiva Falar sobre a apologia da raiva num livro com a assinatura de Dalai Lama até parece um contra-senso. Porém, pensando melhor, até faz sentido. E faz sentido porque nem toda a raiva é negativa. Por exemplo, quando nos insurgimos contra a guerra, o racismo, o abuso de menores, a violê......more

Goodreads review by Manolo on December 30, 2022

Un breve libro que realmente es más una lluvia de ideas del Dalai Lama sobre la ira que realmente un ensayo a profundidad del tema. En algunas partes vas a sentirte muy fuera de lugar, dado que se sale del tema de manera muy notoria. De las 120 mini páginas, solo 1/4 tratan específicamente de la ira......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on January 29, 2025

The Dalai Lama makes an excellent point in this book: be angry but with a purpose. Not just be angry out of spite and resentment, but with compassion. Great read for 115 pages. I like these little inspirational books: small in size but BIG and powerful in meaning.......more

Goodreads review by Adrian on May 03, 2019

This is a really quick book and a great read, I picked it up because as someone who has terrible problems with anger and wants to become the best Buddhist I can be, the topic of anger from the 14th Dalai Lama himself is very interesting. Amid all of the points made the main staying point is that ang......more
