A Translation As It Is

EA 12.2 Spitefulness / English

0:00

Thus I have heard:

One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.


At that time, the Bhagavaan addressed the Bhikshus:

Among all dharmas, I see none that destroys noble life as quickly as hatred and envy.

Therefore, O Bhikshus! You should cultivate loving-kindness and patience—practice bodily kindness, verbal kindness, and mental kindness.

Thus, O Bhikshus, you should train yourselves in this way.


When the bhikshus heard what the Budha said, they followed it with joy.
