My question is how do you handle someone who always needs to take out their anger on some others. In a house, maybe one person says something wrong and the whole house knows. Maybe it's a female problem, I don't really know, but with this one person, anything goes wrong and the whole house is in a tension. I recognize that she always needs to take it out on something. My question is how do you handle such a person?

How can a person deal with bad Kamma like abusive parents, sexual abuse, etc.? What if it falls again and again into grief, anger and self-hatred?

I would tease a retreatant with the intention to help him to grow. Is it bad Kamma for me, and Dukkha for him? For example, when we queue up for breakfast I would take the food very slowly (I didn't do it yet).
