Kodhagarusutta

Valuing Anger

“Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
“Mendicants, someone with four qualities is cast down to hell.

Katamehi catūhi?
What four?

Kodhagaru hoti na saddhammagaru, makkhagaru hoti na saddhammagaru, lābhagaru hoti na saddhammagaru, sakkāragaru hoti na saddhammagaru—
They value anger, or denigration, or material things, or honor rather than the true teaching.

imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
Someone with these four qualities is cast down to hell.

Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge.
Someone with four qualities is raised up to heaven.

Katamehi catūhi?
What four?

Saddhammagaru hoti na kodhagaru, saddhammagaru hoti na makkhagaru, saddhammagaru hoti na lābhagaru, saddhammagaru hoti na sakkāragaru—
They value the true teaching rather than anger, or denigration, or material things, or honor.

imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge”ti.
Someone with these four qualities is raised up to heaven.”

Catutthaṁ.
