:: 4. On anger and enmity. ::
1. Cherish no anger. Forget your enmities. Win your enemies by love.
2. This is the Buddhist Way of Life..
3. The fire of anger should be stilled.
4. One who harbours the thought : " He reviled me, maltreated me, overpowered me, robbed me," in him anger is never stilled."
5. He who harbours not such a thought, in him anger is stilled.
6. Enemy works evil to enemy, hater to hater, but whose is the evil.
7. Let a man overcome anger by love, let him overcome evil by good ; let him overcome the greedy by liberality, the liar by truth.
8. Speak the truth, do not yield to anger ; give, if thou art asked for little.
9. Let a man leave anger, let him forsake pride, let him overcome all bondage ; no sufferings befall the man who is not attached to name and form, and who calls nothing his own.
10. He who holds back rising anger like a rolling chariot, him I call a real driver, other people are but holding the reins.
11. Conquest begets enmity; the conquered lie down in distress. The tranquillised lies down in happiness, dismissing alike victory and defeat.
12. There is no fire like lust, no ill-fortune like hatred. There is no misery like the constituents of existence, no happiness higher than the Peace of Nibbana.
13. For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time : hatred ceases by love, this is an old rule.
