What’s the difference between wrath and anger?

“Anger is destructive, whereas enlightened wrath is protective and transformative.”

In this conversation with His Eminence Gegye Yongyal Tulku Rinpoche (gegye_yongyal_rinpoche), anger is described as something rooted in negative emotions—something that leads to harm and suffering.

Wrath, on the other hand, isn’t driven by hatred or self-interest. It’s understood as a form of compassion—a force that protects, transforms, and helps remove obstacles.

Swipe through to explore how this distinction is understood in Buddhist traditions.
