Linked Discourses 11.25

Chapter Three

Don’t Be Angry

So I have heard.

At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

There the Buddha addressed the mendicants:

“Once upon a time, mendicants, Sakka, lord of gods, guiding the gods of the thirty-three, spoke this verse:

‘Don’t let anger be your master,

don’t get angry at angry people.

Kindness and harmlessness

are always present in the noble ones.

For anger crushes bad people

like a mountain.’”
