Why does anger vanish the moment there’s no one to blame? In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, we explore the Zen koan The Empty Boat and reveal how ego creates conflict, emotional reactivity, and unnecessary suffering. Blending Zen philosophy, modern psychology, and real-world examples, this episode shows why anger isn’t caused by events—but by identity—and how awareness dissolves it without suppression. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand anger, ego, and emotional mastery at a deeper level.
