Overcoming Anger and Anxiety by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

On the 40th Anniversary of Tushita Mahayana Meditation Centre and its 12th Dharma Celebration, his holiness Dalai Lama delivered a lecture on "Overcoming Anger and Anxiety" at the St. Columba's School, Delhi on Wednesday, 20th November 2019. Dr. Ramanbhai Patel Foundation one of the partners of the Gandhi – Mandela Peace Initiative was one of the sponsors at the event and contributed in the loving memory of Dr. Ramanbhai Patel who healed and reformed communities in South Africa. His daughter Tarina Patel was present at the event and felt serene in the presence of his holiness Dalai Lama.

At the session, His Holiness also introduced his new book "Daily Inspiration from His Holiness The Dalai Lama". One of the quotes which really touched the attendees was "When we encounter some problem and when someone is about to harm us, then immediately we cultivate anger. Anger comes as a helper or assistant because it makes us bold and courageous and we can retaliate and hit back. When attachment comes, it comes like our best or close friend. So they are a part of our mind, an innate part, and normally we take them for granted and do not bother much about them when they arise within us. Since they come as our friend or helper, therefore, anger and attachment can really deceive us."
