Abstract | This research article has three objectives, namely: (1) to study the causes and ef-fects of anger in Buddhism in general, (2) to study the methods of extinguishing anger in Buddhism, and (3) to study the benefi ts of extinguishing anger in Buddhism.During this research, it was found that there are many causes and effects of anger according to Buddhism. Concerning the causes of anger, it is mostly caused by unwhole-some roots (akusala mūla), worldly conditions (lokadhamma), defi lements (kilesa), craving (taṇhā), etc. Moreover, concerning the effects of anger, anger directly affects one’s self and others.Furthermore, the researcher found that there are two benefi ts of extinguishing anger in Buddhism, those are benefi ts for oneself and benefi ts for others. In addition, there are some more benefi ts, which are: one not destroys one’s life, is shameful to do evil, knows the advantages of Dhamma, and experiences a cool mind all the time. On the other hand, the benefi ts of extinguishing anger for others are: one respects and is kind to all beings, lives together with others in peace and harmony.The paper also discusses the meaning and the problems of anger in Buddhism in general, and discusses the methods of extinguishing anger in Buddhism. In the research, it was found that there are several methods of extinguishing anger in Buddhism. Particularly important is the refl ection method, which is the refl ection on the Buddha’s teachings, and refl ection on many different objectives in order to extinguishing anger. |
