Below is a beautiful poem written with great wisdom
from the poet Papa Lam
Goodbye to my Good Friend
I have a good friend called Anger;
It is suffering and yet I crave.
It has claimed my marriage but I was saved.
It has claimed my life
It has claimed my job but I was saved.
With wisdom and compassion I shall
proclaim upon all Bodhisattvas
"Thank you for walking the
in the past with me,
but my dear old friend, Anger
You are no longer needed (in the present)
for crossing the seas of suffering
whose shores are clear to you and me.
Please leave and don't bid goodbye."
From Papa Lam to Mama
