Precept 9

Do not become angry. This is very difficult. Nearly all the Zen masters are very short-tempered but we couldn't say do not become angry to our masters. [Laughter.] So it may be better to recite this part-- ”do not become angry”-- before our master.  ------------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-06-12 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay, not just the super cool ones,
