坐禪三昧經 1.21

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614.1.21)

「『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."
