The Long Āgama Sūtra 14.29

14.29

佛告帝釋：「貪嫉之生，皆由愛憎，愛憎為因，愛憎為緣，愛憎為首，從此而有，無此則無。」

The Buddha told Lord Śakra, “The arising of greed and jealousy have their origin in love and hate. Love and hate are their causes and conditions. Love and hate are their source. From them, they come to exist. In their absence, they cease to exist.”
