Attitudes for when you feel frustrated, recovery keywords

This is my first time asking a question. Thank you for your support.

Over the past few years, I've been bothered by the words and actions of my juniors at the company. Even though she's a junior, she's also in her late 30s and a nice adult.

She is a person who feels overly self-conscious, has a strong desire for approval, and has a strong sense that she is a person who can do it.
It is basic to improve oneself by lowering others, and they also have a lot of feelings of dislike for me, and when mistakes are pointed out to me, I get in a very bad mood. Also, words and actions that make people want to be noticed or worried by those around them stand out.
For some reason, I was the only one to be on the same team as her over and over again, and it was a team with only 2 people, and I couldn't leave.

There's no point in listing tough things about her, but I feel that the more I write, the dirtier my heart gets, so I'll leave it around here.

As for me, my mind was gradually cut down and I couldn't stop eating and sleeping... In the meantime, I came across this Hasunoha, and just recently, I made up my mind to change myself.

Before starting school, during lunch, before going to bed... read the words of the Hasunoha monk and Buddha on the internet,

・Anger is the cause of anguish and suffering

・Heart of Mercy

・I will not take bad words

I spend my time repeatedly inputting things like that into my head.

It's been a long time, but this is where the main subject starts m (_ _) m

Since I got into this habit, I felt much easier. I would like to continue this little training from now on.

However, after all, when people unexpectedly say disgust, etc., anger just peeks out on their faces. If I can afford it, I'll dodge them, but anger can also make my heart flutter. And after a while I fall into self-loathing...

“There's no way I can do something overnight that a monk would learn through ascetic practices. I say to myself, “Let's do it steadily again,” but after all, there are times when I feel frustrated.

Do you have recommendations for attitudes at times like this or keywords that are effective for revival? I hope I can borrow your wisdom. If I get some words from the monk, I think I'll be able to work even harder. Thank you for your support.

conversion box

 Good evening. Very thought-provoking... you asked a good question.
So, I thought of a conversion box that “wraps anger in laughter.” People who look at it from above will add “how” to “suggestions.” The word “ordinary man” comes to mind when you make use of the keyword for invalidating that “whoa,” and the fact that “monks are the same” that you noticed.
It means normal or mediocre, but in terms of Buddhism, it's a self-aware phrase called “self-centered, self-centered, and wobbly self, spread out by greed and anger.” It should apply to me, but it's easy to notice other people's things, isn't it? So there's the conversion box.
There was a song called “Usseewa,” and it was a replacement song for that
Why don't you try using the phrase “Bon Pooh Bon Pooh, it's more mediocre than you think” (I'm answering seriously).
My girlfriend, I, and my boy are all the same ordinary people. If there is a difference, it is “awareness as an ordinary man.” When you sense “Oh, I just made a suggestion, but I put extra decorations on it,” type it into the conversion box. When you sense anger or fuzziness, anger and “whoa” are usually also among the causes. Then, they find “which words emanate from greed or anger,” eliminate them, and just make suggestions. If you do that (more than before that), you should be able to relax and consider...
If you are pulled by an ornament driven by greed, you will misunderstand the proposal, which is the essence of it. If “this is where the person's mediocre nature comes out,” I feel like it could be treated as a worthwhile story...
And, this “what kind of view of people do you have?” Surprisingly, it's at the core of religion. “Ordinary man” means someone who is self-centered and swayed by greed and anger, but the Jodo sect explains that it is precisely because they are such ordinary people that they are saved by Amitabha Buddha. Therefore, being aware that you are an ordinary man is not humiliating, but a step closer to the Buddha. Awareness, or mental issues, is important.
As a matter of fact, I myself was inspired by your question and came up with this converter box. I think I'll use it too, so be sure to test how comfortable it is to use.

Juniors are no different from cicadas

It's hard working with people like that, isn't it?
Maybe you won't understand until you make it clear once.

Your very way of saying things hurts people. I have also felt uncomfortable over and over again. If you work with people, you won't be able to do a good job if you don't work with respect.

Maybe I should tell you that story. I think it's okay to put aside your emotions and talk calmly.

It's just that the goal is to make the job a success, and then they work together for that success, so maybe there is no choice but to split the work. It's impermanent, so I think you can rest assured that you won't be in a relationship with that disgusting junior for the rest of your life, just like the situation until yesterday isn't there now.

When talking to juniors, it may be necessary to talk to them first so that their boss can take their side. One way is to get guidance from your boss.

Right now, Minmin cicadas are chirping outside. The voice of the junior speaking is the voice of the Minmin cicada.
The figure is also about the size of a Minmin cicada, so I can capture it.
Your eyes and ears accept your juniors in the same way as when you look at Minmin cicadas. I can't tell the sound apart from the voice, just the way it is. There's no point in that. Mean min min min.

And if it goes away even after that, it's abnormal. It's not anywhere anymore. I'll never hear it again. The next time I heard it was the first sound in my life.
Those encounters continue to be our lifetimes.

A pinch is an opportunity!

Thank you very much for your consultation.

As a way to lighten the mind, anger and rustle will not go away even if you try to get rid of it.
Rather, the more you put a lid on “don't feel it,” the more painful your heart becomes. So first, “Oh, I'm mad right now”
Just noticing that is enough. You don't have to deny that feeling.

Even so, there are painful situations, aren't there?
So let's mix up some ingenuity to change our point of view.
In other words, if you add a little “meaning,” your mind will be completely relieved.

① Let's say “I received virtue”!
If you accept bad words and endure them, if you think that your partner's “virtue” has flowed through you, you can feel that you have gained rather than lost.

② Let's say your lucky value has increased by 1.
There is often a rumor that if you pick up fallen trash, you can pick up not only trash but also good luck, so if you think of it like a game, “get lucky, get experience points,” the pain also turns into points.

③ Isn't this an event to improve humanity?
It is said that in life, once you have accumulated experience points that allow you to grow yourself, an event (opportunity) will come for you to be reborn as a new self. Maybe that event has just arrived!

In other words
You don't need to let go of your anger; you can feel it.
However, instead of holding on to it as suffering, simply converting it to “gained,” your heart should feel much lighter.

Even if clouds can hide the moon, they can't destroy the moon

The mind is impermanent, and thoughts, feelings, and even moods and physical conditions come to mind moment by moment, then disappear and change.
So the anger and sadness will surely pass.
Moon a quiet heart after anger and sadness have passed,
If you compare anger and sadness to clouds hiding the moon,
Even if clouds temporarily hide the moon, clouds cannot destroy the moon.
Rest assured that once the bad feelings have passed, you will surely be able to return to a quiet, radiant, and happy heart.
