Nonanger

Akkodhasutta Translated by Bhikkhu BodhiTHUS HAVE I HEARD. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Savatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anathapiṇḍika’s Park. There the Blessed One said this:“Bhikkhus, once in the past Sakka, lord of the devas, instructing the Tavatiṁsa devas in the Sudhamma assembly hall, on that occasion recited this verse:“‘Do not let anger overpower you;Do not become angry at those who are angry.Nonanger and harmlessness always dwellWithin the hearts of the noble ones.Like a mountain avalancheAnger crushes evil people.’”
