The Only Clever Killing:

 

 

Sakka - the king of the 33 divinities - once spoke these verses to the Blessed Buddha:Having slain what, does one sleep in peace ?Having slain what, does one never sorrow? What is the one thing 0ohh Gotama Whose killing you approve ?The Blessed One:Having slain Anger, one sleeps in calm ease;Having slain Anger, one does not sorrowThe killing of Anger, 0ohh Vasava With its poisoned root and honeyed tip:This is the killing, the Noble Ones approve.For having slain that, one does not grieve. Sakka continued:I am not one easily upset in mind. Nor easily agitated by Anger's whirl.I never become angry for long Nor does Anger hang on in me.When angry, I do not despise.Nor do I praise own qualities.I keep myself well controlled.Protecting my own future good.Therefore: Bring Anger under control;Do not let your friendships decay.Do not blame one who is blameless; Do not speak splitting speech.Like the roaring mountain avalancheTheir own Anger crushes evil people.Do not let Anger overpower you;Do not become angry with the angry.Noble Ones always remain harmless. Like a devastating mountain avalancheTheir own Hate crushes bad people.Source: The Grouped sayings of the Buddha.
