The five wisdoms are the five Buddha families, each of which has a corresponding neurotic tendencies. If one's essence is recognised, then when a negative emotion arises, it is immediately seen as one of the wisdoms: therefore, we are beginning to look at the unity of the two truths, relative and absolute. I could go into more detail if you wish. Hi Tony,

I was a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for a long time before deciding to change to Theravada.

I am familiar with the concept of the 5 Buddha Families and their corresponding emotions and wisdoms. However, in your ordinary daily life , can you honestly say that these concepts enable you, for example, to immediately deal with the arising of anger in a disagreement with someone?

Please give a detailed example of how you are able to effectively deal with this and other negative emotions on an everyday level.

kind regards

Aloka
