La base de todas las enseñanzas de Buda consiste en que la infelicidad humana se asienta fundamentalmente en tres elementos: la ignorancia, el apego y la ira. Y, de hecho, la ira, como ha demostrado la ciencia veinticinco siglos después, puede causar graves daños psíquicos y físicos. Sin embargo, no sólo podemos dominarla, sino incluso convertirla en una fuerza positiva, para lo cual disponemos de las herramientas necesarias en nuestro interior. Sólo tenemos que quererlo.

When you cook potatoes, you need to keep the fire going for at least fifteen or twenty minutes. You cannot eat raw potatoes. While cooking your potatoes, you have to cover the pot in order to prevent heat from escaping. When you remove the lid of the pot, the potatoes will smell wonderful.
Nowadays, chickens are raised in large-scale modern farms where they cannot walk, run, or seek food in the soil. [...] There is a lot of anger, a lot of frustration, and much suffering in the chickens.
[...] So when you eat the flesh or egg of such a chicken, you are eating anger and frustration. So be aware. Be careful what you eat. If you eat anger, you will become and express anger. If you eat despair, you will express despair. If you eat frustration, you will express frustration. We have to eat happy eggs from happy chickens.
