#channel/bodhi-light-teachings  Who likes thoughts of anger? Thoughts of disapproving someone? No one. It bothers you, yeah? And ordinary people say, "I'm angry because of his—her fault, his fault." That's what ordinary people do. In Chan, we have these unpleasant thoughts; we don't blame others. We look at ourselves. Ah, this is my fault. I **choose** to be angry. I **choose** to be greedy. I **choose** to be negative. No one asked me to be negative. No one asked me to be impatient. No one asked me to be mean. And that's why I'm unhappy. Getting angry basically is making the wrong choice. You choose to get angry, and you can't help yourself.
