Dhammapada XVII : Anger

Anger : 221
Abandon anger,
be done with conceit,
get beyond every fetter.
When for name & form
you have no attachment
–have nothing at all–
no sufferings, no stresses, invade.

Anger : 222

When anger arises,
whoever keeps firm control
as if with a racing chariot:
him
I call a master charioteer.
Anyone else,
a rein-holder–
that’s all.

Anger : 223

Conquer anger with lack of anger;
bad with good; stinginess with a gift;
a liar with truth.

Anger : 224

By telling the truth;
by not growing angry;
by giving, when asked,
no matter how little you have:
by these three things
you enter the presence of devas.

Gentle sages,
constantly restrained in body,
go to the unwavering state
where, having gone,
there’s no grief.

Those who always stay wakeful,
training by day & by night,
keen on Unbinding:
their effluents come to an end.

Anger : 227-228

This has come down from old, Atula,
& not just from today:
they find fault with one
who sits silent,
they find fault with one
who speaks a great deal,
they find fault with one
who measures his words.

There’s no one unfaulted in the world.
There never was,
will be,
nor at present is found
anyone entirely faulted
or entirely praised.

Anger : 229-230

If knowledgeable people praise him,
having observed him
day after day
to be blameless in conduct, intelligent,
endowed with discernment & virtue:
like an ingot of gold–
who’s fit to find fault with him?
Even devas praise him.
Even by Brahma he’s praised.

Anger : 231-234

Guard against anger
erupting in body;
in body, be restrained.
Having abandoned bodily misconduct,
live conducting yourself well
in body.
Guard against anger
erupting in speech;
in speech, be restrained.
Having abandoned verbal misconduct,
live conducting yourself well
in speech.
Guard against anger
erupting in mind;
in mind, be restrained.
Having abandoned mental misconduct,
live conducting yourself well in mind.
Those restrained in body
–the enlightened–
restrained in speech & in mind
–enlightened–
are the ones whose restraint is secure.

Dhammapada XVIII : Impurities

Impurities : 235-238

You are now
like a yellowed leaf.
Already
Yama’s minions stand near.
You stand at the door to departure
but have yet to provide
for the journey.

Make an island for yourself!
Work quickly! Be wise!
With impurities all blown away,
unblemished,
you’ll reach the divine realm
of the noble ones.

You are now
right at the end of your time.
You are headed
to Yama’s presence,
with no place to rest along the way,
but have yet to provide
for the journey.

Make an island for yourself!
Work quickly! Be wise!
With impurities all blown away,
unblemished,
you won’t again undergo birth
& aging.

Longmen grottoes, Luoyang, Heinan province, China, holds thousands of Sakyamuni Buddha statues from 7th century Tang dynasty era.

Impurities : 239

Just as a silver smith
step by step,
bit by bit,
moment to moment,
blows away the impurities
of molten silver–
so the wise man, his own.
