The Sacred Journey Through Rage to Liberation
What if your anger isn't a problem but a portal? Lama Rod Owens invites us on a revolutionary journey through our most difficult emotions, revealing how rage-when held with wisdom-can become a powerful force for liberation. As a Black, queer Buddhist teacher, Owens speaks from the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern struggle, offering insights born from his own battles with depression, racial trauma, and spiritual awakening. His approach doesn't ask us to suppress our anger but to dive beneath it, discovering the wounded heart that lies at its core. In a world increasingly divided by rage, this perspective feels not just refreshing but essential-a pathway to transform our relationship with difficult emotions while maintaining our commitment to justice.
