Remembering Thich Nhat Hanh

“My dear friend,
I would like to tell you how I practiced when I got angry during the war in Vietnam. There was a lot of injustice and many thousands of friends of mine were killed. I got very angry but at that time I was already a solid practitioner.
I did not say anything. I did not act because I knew that acting or saying things while you are angry is not wise. It may create a lot of destruction. I went back to myself recognizing my anger, embracing it and looked deeply into the nature of my suffering.
…
"I was able to see the real enemy of man is ignorance, discrimination, fear, craving and violence."
