The first chapter consists of an initial definition of anger in two different ways- as a “Deadly Sin” (Christian and Islamic definition), and as an addiction or a poison in the Buddhist definition. It tells the reader that it is one of the three “root poisons”, along with greed and delusion, which cause the inability to achieve enlightenment and leave samsara, or the endless cycle of life that is the core belief of both the religions of Buddhism and Hinduism.
