4.42

Second, explaining the treatment for justified anger: if in other matters there is no anger at all, but only upon seeing someone commit evil or break the precepts does the mind of anger arise—the symptoms of the disease arising are fully as explained before. To treat it, one should teach the cultivation of benevolence conditioned on dharmas: contemplating the five aggregates as empty and unreal, one sees no sentient being—how could there be matters of keeping or breaking, right or wrong? Merely conditioning upon the Dharma joy among all feelings to bestow upon others, with a benevolent mind of fond regard one ought not to inflict affliction. Right and wrong having dissolved, the mind of anger naturally subsides; this is the practice of benevolence conditioned on dharmas being able to cure the disease of anger following reason.
