Included in the talk were a dozen or so slides depicting paintings and photos that show anger throughout time in various expressions.
Precept 6:
Do not maintain anger or hatred. Learn to penetrate and transform them when they are still seeds in your consciousness. As soon as they arise, turn your attention to your breath in order to see and understand the nature of your anger and hatred and the nature of the persons who have caused your anger and hatred.
