Intolerance (1st)

“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā akkhantiyā.
“Mendicants, there are these five drawbacks of intolerance.

Katame pañca?
What five?

Bahuno janassa appiyo hoti amanāpo, verabahulo ca hoti, vajjabahulo ca, sammūḷho kālaṁ karoti, kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapajjati.
Most people find you unlikable and disagreeable. You have lots of enmity and many faults. You feel lost when you die. And when your body breaks up, after death, you’re reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā akkhantiyā.
These are the five drawbacks to intolerance.

Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā khantiyā.
There are these five benefits of tolerance.

Katame pañca?
What five?

Bahuno janassa piyo hoti manāpo, na verabahulo hoti, na vajjabahulo, asammūḷho kālaṁ karoti, kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjati.
Most people find you dear and agreeable. You have little enmity and few faults. You don’t feel lost when you die. And when your body breaks up, after death, you’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā khantiyā”ti.
These are the five benefits of tolerance.”

Pañcamaṁ.
