This episode takes a deep dive into Anger (kodho), one of the 16 mental stains from the Vatthupama Sutta. We learn about how to meditate to abandon this mental stain or defilement with a gentle guided meditation.
In the complete 20-part session we:
- study the words of the Buddha in the Vatthupama Sutta;  
- discuss some of the benefits of learning this meditation;  
- 'deep dive' into the 16 mental stains; 
- meditate on each of the 16 mental stains (guidance provided) to directly experience the fruits of this teaching; and 
- look into the Buddha's teachings on what to expect from bad actions
