Anger in you
In Buddhism we are taught to have passion and control our mind, also to bear the anger in yourself, when we can not control ourselves then we are angry then firstly we must control our mind then we can look what is happening within us.
Anger is bad in a person's life and anger is like the fire, if you are angry and you if yo don't stop your anger then it will grow, like the fire burning the house.

Vipassana Meditation in Buddhism
Vi means Insight and passana means seeing
that is seeing the mind.
In Buddhism, Vipassana is most important meditation and that is the Only Meditation and only way that we could be liberate our self. if we want to be liberated to the final state then we need the only step to follow is Vipassana Meditation and all the aranhants (Worthy-one)and Buddhas attained Nibbana through Vipassana.
Its very serious practice, serious means the hardest practice of any other Meditation in Buddhism. in the Theravada country like Thailand, Myanmer, Combodia and Sri-Lanka are practiced this very often.In those countries there are great Vipassana Meditation masters. lets say mahasi Sayadaw is one of the great Teacher for Meditation and he could lead the people in thousands of numbers.
Well, its hard, so people may not be interested in doing it and there also other meditation that helps to calm down the mind. the mind in Buddhism is compared to a Monkey. We all know how the money is and what is the nature of a monkey, that is jumping from place to place, likewise our mind is jumping from seconds to seconds to places.
Therefore, we need to practice Samatha or Vipassana even if we are not able to get to final state, But meditation is the key to control our mind.

What is Rebirth in Budhism
Rebirth in Buddhism is the most important. We, in Buddhism believe what is Rebirth is. some people might not understand what is rebirth. Let's say, Rebirth means we reborn after we die, or we are born again.
some people may it makes no sense. but also we believe that we are born in accordance with our actions that we did in our past lives. if we were doing sins, bad actions etc.. then we will be born in bad family or in bad realm ..sometimes could be born in hell, animal world and those who do good and think good are born to heaven.
Therefore, Rebirth in Buddhism we believe very strongly and that is the reason we need to cultivate compassion and do/make good to oneself and to others then will be born in a good family.
how to stop reborn?
you cant stop reborn till you are attained to Nibbana and that the final state or gal of Buddhism. it takes millions and billions of years. until you get it done through Meditation.

Kamma/Karma in Buddhism
Karma or Kamma in Buddhism is very essential. It does give us the result. kamma in English means ACTION, that what we do in our our daily life is called action,
Now, In Buddhism we believe that everything we do we get its result, that is what we do if we do good then we have good result and if we do bad then we have bad results, therefore, Results are determined by the actions that we do or make.
For example, In Buddhism it is prohibited even to kill a mosquito for all Buddhists and if we take the life of that living creature . for more clear understand a living being or animal or any other living things, then we commit killing and that result we will clear understanding we will be killed by those one day.
