Buddhism: Trump as Anger-Eating Demon?

Anger Eating Demons | Ajahn Brahm
I can take it and grow as well as I can dish it out.
(Buddhist Society of Western Australia) Ajahn Brahm talks about the fault-finding mind that only looks at what is wrong with things. The British Theravada monk in the Thai Forest Tradition explains how life doesn’t go wrong. It just goes different or counter to our expectations. People are not "wrong" but different. He recounts two classic ancient Buddhist stories, that of the Anger-Eating Demon and "The Two Arrows."
