Seventh, the retribution obtained, briefly showing ten kinds: 1. anger incurs ten offenses, as in the Dazhidulun; 2. due to anger, one enters the eight great hells, as stated in the first fascicle of the Shan jie jing; 3. one also falls into the realms of hungry ghosts and animals; the Avataṃsaka Sūtra states: "Regarding the offense of anger, the highest is the cause for hell, the medium for animals, and the lowest for hungry ghosts"—the above are retributive fruits. 4. As for concordant fruits, the sūtra states: "If born among humans, one obtains two kinds of retribution: first, others constantly search out one's faults; second, one is constantly vexed and harmed by others." 5. As for the dominant fruit, regarding the environment of retribution, the seventh fascicle of the Abhidharmasamuccaya[-bhāṣya] states: "Due to anger, it causes the taste of fruits to be pungent and bitter." 6. The body is constantly ugly, and people do not delight in seeing it; 7. losing the dhyāna-bliss of the higher realms; 8. contravening the liberation of the two vehicles; 9. harming the bodhisattva's practice of the two benefits; 10. losing one's station in the five ranks of a bodhisattva. These can be known.
