佛言。休息瞋恚獲十種功德。何等為十。一離一切瞋。二樂不積財。三眾聖喜樂。四常與賢聖相會。五得利益事。六顏容端正。七見眾生樂則生歡喜。八得於三昧。九得身口意光澤調柔。十身壞命終得生善道。諸仁者。是名休息瞋恚得十種功德。若能以此善根迴向無上菩提。是人不久得無上智得菩提時。於彼國土所有眾生。悉得三昧。來生其國心極清淨。

The Buddha said, 'By refraining from anger and malice, one obtains ten kinds of merits. What are the ten? First, one is free from all anger. Second, one delights in not amassing wealth. Third, the noble assembly is delighted. Fourth, one constantly meets with the noble and virtuous. Fifth, one attains beneficial matters. Sixth, one's facial countenance is upright and dignified. Seventh, seeing the joy of sentient beings, one gives rise to happiness. Eighth, one attains samādhi. Ninth, one attains luster, gentleness, and pliability of body, speech, and mind. Tenth, upon the dissolution of the body and the end of life, one is reborn in wholesome destinies. Virtuous ones, this is called obtaining ten kinds of merits by refraining from anger and malice. If one can dedicate these roots of goodness toward unsurpassable bodhi, before long, when this person attains unsurpassable wisdom and attains bodhi, all sentient beings in that land will completely attain samādhi, and those who come to be born in that land will have minds that are exceedingly pure.'
