Valuing Anger
“चतूहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो यथाभतं निक्खित्तो एवं निरये। कतमेहि चतूहि? कोधगरु होति न सद्धम्मगरु, मक्खगरु होति न सद्धम्मगरु, लाभगरु होति न सद्धम्मगरु, सक्कारगरु होति न सद्धम्मगरु—इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, चतूहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो यथाभतं निक्खित्तो एवं निरये।
“Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi catūhi? Kodhagaru hoti na saddhammagaru, makkhagaru hoti na saddhammagaru, lābhagaru hoti na saddhammagaru, sakkāragaru hoti na saddhammagaru—imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
“Bhikkhus, someone with four qualities is cast down to hell. What four? They value anger, or denigration, or material possessions, or honor rather than the true teaching. Someone with these four qualities is cast down to hell.
चतूहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो यथाभतं निक्खित्तो एवं सग्गे। कतमेहि चतूहि? सद्धम्मगरु होति न कोधगरु, सद्धम्मगरु होति न मक्खगरु, सद्धम्मगरु होति न लाभगरु, सद्धम्मगरु होति न सक्कारगरु—इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, चतूहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो यथाभतं निक्खित्तो एवं सग्गे”ति।
Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge. Katamehi catūhi? Saddhammagaru hoti na kodhagaru, saddhammagaru hoti na makkhagaru, saddhammagaru hoti na lābhagaru, saddhammagaru hoti na sakkāragaru—imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge”ti.
Someone with four qualities is raised up to heaven. What four? They value the true teaching rather than anger, or denigration, or material possessions, or honor. Someone with these four qualities is raised up to heaven.”
