Among afflictions, it is the gravest, nothing preceding this; 2. It also constitutes a course of karma that is a cause for evil destinies; 3. It burns away all roots of goodness from past lifetimes; 4. It can form great animosities that are difficult to resolve for successive kalpas; 5. Because of this, one can harm various sentient beings; 6. Even up to being able to commit crimes of immediate retribution; 7. It can obstruct the bodhisattva's kṣānti-pāramitā; 8. It harms the great compassion of bodhisattvas; 9. It causes sentient beings who are to be transformed to abandon and depart; 10. It fully brings about hundreds of thousands of obstacles. The Avataṃsaka Sūtra cites this extensively. It also says: "I do not see a single evil phenomenon that exceeds a single angry thought of a bodhisattva." Since the harm is so severe, it must be prohibited. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.4.13) - [Next: 4.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.4.15) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813~en-mt.4.14) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.4.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.4.14) · Pramāṇa
