Quoted By:
>Anagarika Munindra, the Indian Buddhist teacher of Joseph Goldstein, Sharon
Salzberg, and many other Westerners, was famous for his practical teachings. >One day Sharon came back to the temple, upset and shaken, to report that she'd been assaulted by a man who tried to drag her off a rickshaw.
>While she had escaped serious harm, she didn't know how to respond, because she thought that as a Buddhist she wasn't supposed to get angry. Munindra told her, "With all the loving-kindness in your heart you should have taken your umbrella and hit that man over the head."
