AN 4.43

Paṭhamakodhagarusutta

“Cattārome, bhikkhave, puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. Katame cattāro? Kodhagaru na saddhammagaru, makkhagaru na saddhammagaru, lābhagaru na saddhammagaru, sakkāragaru na saddhammagaru. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ.

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.

Cattārome, bhikkhave, puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. Katame cattāro? Saddhammagaru na kodhagaru, saddhammagaru na makkhagaru, saddhammagaru na lābhagaru, saddhammagaru na sakkāragaru. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasminti.

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.

Kodhamakkhagarū bhikkhū, lābhasakkāragāravā; Na te dhamme virūhanti, sammāsambuddhadesite.

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

Ye ca saddhammagaruno, vihaṁsu viharanti ca; Te ve dhamme virūhanti, sammāsambuddhadesite”ti.

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.”
