| Anger (New York Public Library/Oxford University Press Lecture Series: The Seven Deadly Sins) |
| |
| In Anger, Thurman, one of America's leading authorities on Buddhism and Eastern philosophy, offers an illuminating look at this deadliest of sins. In the West, Thurman points out, anger is seen as an inevitable part of life, an evil to be borne, not overcome. There is the tradition of the wrathful God, of Jesus driving the money-changers from the temple. If God can be angry, how can men rid themselves of this destructive emotion? Thurman shows that Eastern philosophy sees anger differently. Certainly, it is a dreadful evil, one of the "three poisons" that underlie all human suffering. But Buddhism teaches that anger can be overcome. Publishers Weekly said, "[Thuman's] Buddhist perspective makes a valuable counterpoint to the mostly Christian points of view we've seen so far."
