Thus I have heard:
One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.
At that time, Bhagavaan addressed the Bhikshus: “By abandoning one thing, I guarantee you will attain Anaagaami (Non-returner).
What is this one thing? It is anger and resentment.
O Bhikshus! Abandon anger, and I guarantee you will attain Anaagaami.”
Then Bhagavaan spoke this verse:
“Defiled by anger and hatred,
Beings fall into woeful realms;
Strive diligently to abandon wrath,
And attain the state of Anaagaami.”
When the bhikshus heard what the Budha said, they followed it with joy.
