Paṭhamakodhagaru sutta: Valuing Anger

“Mendicants, these four individuals are found in the world. What four? People who value anger, or denigration, or material things, or honor rather than the true teaching. These are the four individuals found in the world.

These four individuals are found in the world. What four? People who value the true teaching rather than anger, or denigration, or material things, or honor. These are the four individuals found in the world.

Mendicants who value anger and denigration,
possessions and honor,
don’t grow in the teaching
that was taught by the perfected Buddha.

But those who value the true teaching,
who have lived it, and are living it now,
these do grow in the teaching
that was taught by the perfected Buddha.”
