Buddhism & the Good & Bad of Wrath
Nichiren wrote that wrath can be either good or bad,
Self-centered anger generates evil, but wrath of social injustice becomes the driving force for reform,
Strong language that censures and combats a great evil often awakens adverse reactions from society,
But this must not intimidate those who believe they are right,
A lion is a lion because he roars.
(Credit Daisaku Ikeda for the philosophy)
