Anger shows up in all of our lives, to varying degrees, for varying reasons.
We rage at our politicians, rage against broken hearts, rage against systems that produce inequality, racism, homophobia and misogyny.
While it can drive us, show us where the hurt is, anger is a volatile tool. We’re often not in charge of it, as much as we like to believe we care. So what is there to learn about it? How can we use that energy to sustain us, protect ourselves and others, rather than burn us to a crisp?
Teacher, author and activist Lama Rod Owens is the guest on today’s podcast. The term “lama” in this context, is an honorific title for Tibetan buddhist teacher, which Lama Rod is. An alumni of the Harvard Divinity School, Lama Rod brings all of himself to his work, his upbringing in the Church, his activism, his race, his gender, his sexuality… And for his most recent book, his anger.
