I. The urgent need to extinguish anger

Greed, anger and delusion are prevalent in our daily life and in the work environment. We the beginners of Mahayana Buddhism oftentimes act like some of the uninitiated who cannot keep emotions contained.

It not only destroys one’s own virtuous roots but also invites negative opinions on Buddhists or even Buddhism in general.
