So It Was Said 4

The Book of the Ones

Chapter One

Anger

iti4:1 This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

iti4:2 “Mendicants, give up one thing and I guarantee you non-return. What one thing? Anger is the one thing. Give it up, and I guarantee you non-return.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

iti4:3 “When overcome by anger beings go to a bad place. Having rightly understood that anger, the discerning give it up. Once they’ve given it up, they never return to this world.”

iti4:4 This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
