Anger: Unwilling to get what we don’t want, or can’t get what we want, but can’t control it, resulting in unpleasantness, anger, irritation, annoyance and hatred, which can cause wrong behavior and bad karma .
The kindness heart in the four boundless minds can overcome anger.
The four immeasurable minds are the four states of mind for practicing and practicing kindness, compassion, joy, and giving up:
Kindness means to be kind to all sentient beings, just like one's own relatives.
Compassion, also known as the elimination of suffering, hopes to help all living beings free from suffering.
Joy is a calm and happy state of mind.
Giving up is to give up the idea of self-centeredness, including self-seeing, self-attachment, and self-clinging.
Recite the four immeasurable hearts:
May all sentient beings have happiness and cause of happiness, and be boundless kindness; may all sentient beings be free from suffering and cause of suffering, be boundless compassion; may all sentient beings not be separated from happiness which includes no suffering, be joy; may all sentient beings stay away from the difference of love and hatred, and live in equality, it’s giving up of self attachment.
The four immeasurable minds originally originated from the ancient Indian religion. Buddha Shakyamuni used this to teach his disciples, hoping that his disciples can practice with these four mentalities. Buddhist practitioners need to extend these four states of mind to the boundless and even all sentient beings, so these four kinds of minds are called "infinite" minds.
Everything in the past is not real. Everything now is not real.
