Dosasutta

Hate

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

“Ekadhammaṁ, bhikkhave, pajahatha;
“Mendicants, give up one thing

ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāya.
and I guarantee you non-return.

Katamaṁ ekadhammaṁ?
What one thing?

Dosaṁ, bhikkhave, ekadhammaṁ pajahatha;
Hate is the one thing. Give it up,

ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāyā”ti.
and I guarantee you non-return.”

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
The Buddha spoke this matter.

Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
On this it is said:

“Yena dosena duṭṭhāse,
“When overcome by hate

sattā gacchanti duggatiṁ;
beings go to a bad place.

Taṁ dosaṁ sammadaññāya,
Having rightly understood that hate,

pajahanti vipassino;
the discerning give it up.

Pahāya na punāyanti,
Once they’ve given it up,

imaṁ lokaṁ kudācanan”ti.
they never return to this world.”

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.

Dutiyaṁ.
