摘要
This research article has three objectives, namely: (1) to study the causes and effects 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 unwholesome 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 benefits 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 reflection method, which is the reflection on the Buddha’s teachings, and
reflection on many different objectives in order to extinguish anger.
