"In the Discourse of The Four Establishments of Mindfulness, in the contemplation of mental formations, i.e. “contemplation of the mind in the mind,” it goes like this: “When anger manifests, a practitioner knows ‘There’s the mental formation of anger. The mental formation of anger is present in me.’ But the sutra also said, “When there’s no mental formation of anger,” we have to be aware that “the mental formation of anger is not present in me.”
"If we read the sutra, without the eye of a practitioner, we’ll think, 'Why do they have to make it so wordy?' But in fact, it’s not wordy at all ! Not a single word of the sutra is to spare. When you don’t have the mental formation of anger in you, that’s exactly the moment you have a lot of happiness. But at that moment, we don’t feel happy at all."
