坐禪三昧經 1.21

1.21

「『以瞋報瞋，瞋還著之；瞋恚不報，
能破大軍。能不瞋恚，是大人法；
小人瞋恚，難動如山。瞋為重毒，
多所殘害；不得害彼，自害乃滅。
瞋為大瞑，有目無覩；瞋為塵垢，
染污淨心。如是瞋恚，當急除滅；
毒蛇在室，不除害人。』如是種種，
瞋毒無量；當習慈心，除滅瞋恚。
是為慈三昧門。」

"‘If one repays hatred with hatred,
hatred returns and clings to oneself;
when hatred is not repaid,
one can break a great army.
Being able not to hate
is the dharma of great people;
the hatred of petty people
is hard to move, like a mountain.
Hatred is a heavy poison,
causing much ruin and harm;
unable to harm that other,
it is extinguished only when harming oneself.
Hatred is a great blindness:
possessing eyes, one perceives nothing;
hatred is dust and defilement,
polluting the pure mind.
Hatred such as this
must be eradicated with urgency;
a venomous snake in the room,
if not removed, harms people.’
Various kinds of poison of hatred like this are immeasurable; one should practice maitrī and eliminate hatred. This is the maitrī samādhi door."
