“When you cook potatoes, you have to maintain the fire underneath for 15-20 minutes. The same is true with the practice of mindfulness when embracing anger. It will take a while, because the anger takes a while to cook. After you have sat a while with your anger, you can look deeply into the anger to see its nature and where it has come from.”
