"These seven things -- pleasing to an enemy, bringing about an enemy's aim -- come to a man

or woman who is angry. Which seven?

"There is the case where an enemy wishes of an enemy, 'O, may this person be ugly!' Why is
that? An enemy is not pleased with an enemy's good looks. Now, when a person is angry -overcome with anger, oppressed with anger -- then regardless of the fact that he may be wellbathed, well-anointed, dressed in white clothes, his hair & beard neatly trimmed, he is ugly
nevertheless, all because he is overcome with anger. This is the first thing pleasing to an
enemy, bringing about an enemy's aim, that comes to a man or woman who is angry.
"Furthermore, an enemy wishes of an enemy, 'O, may this person sleep badly!' Why is that?
An enemy is not pleased with an enemy's restful sleep. Now, when a person is angry -overcome with anger, oppressed with anger -- then regardless of the fact that he sleeps on a
bed spread with a white blanket, spread with a woolen coverlet, spread with a flowerembroidered bedspread, covered with a rug of deerskins, with a canopy overhead, or on a
sofa with red cushions at either end, he sleeps badly nevertheless, all because he is overcome
with anger. This is the second thing pleasing to an enemy, bringing about an enemy's aim,
that comes to a man or woman who is angry.
"Furthermore, an enemy wishes of an enemy, 'O, may this person not profit!' Why is that? An
enemy is not pleased with an enemy's profits. Now, when a person is angry -- overcome with
anger, oppressed with anger -- then even when he suffers a loss, he thinks, 'I've gained a
profit'; and even when he gains a profit, he thinks, 'I've suffered a loss.' When he has grabbed
hold of these ideas that work in mutual opposition [to the truth], they lead to his long-term
suffering & loss, all because he is overcome with anger. This is the third thing pleasing to an
enemy, bringing about an enemy's aim, that comes to a man or woman who is angry.
"Furthermore, an enemy wishes of an enemy, 'O, may this person not have any wealth!' Why
is that? An enemy is not pleased with an enemy's wealth. Now, when a person is angry -overcome with anger, oppressed with anger -- then whatever wealth he has, earned through
his efforts & enterprise, amassed through the strength of his arm, and piled up through the
sweat of his brow -- righteous wealth righteously gained -- the king orders it sent to the royal
treasury [in payment of fines levied for his behavior] all because he is overcome with anger.
This is the fourth thing pleasing to an enemy, bringing about an enemy's aim, that comes to a
man or woman who is angry.
"Furthermore, an enemy wishes of an enemy, 'O, may this person not have any reputation!'
Why is that? An enemy is not pleased with an enemy's reputation. Now, when a person is
angry -- overcome with anger, oppressed with anger -- whatever reputation he has gained
from being heedful, it falls away, all because he is overcome with anger. This is the fifth
thing pleasing to an enemy, bringing about an enemy's aim, that comes to a man or woman
who is angry.
"Furthermore, an enemy wishes of an enemy, 'O, may this person not have any friends!' Why
is that? An enemy is not pleased with an enemy's having friends. Now, when a person is
angry -- overcome with anger, oppressed with anger -- his friends, companions, & relatives
will avoid him from afar, all because he is overcome with anger. This is the sixth thing
pleasing to an enemy, bringing about an enemy's aim, that comes to a man or woman who is
angry.

"Furthermore, an enemy wishes of an enemy, 'O, may this person, on the break-up of the
body, after death, reappear in the plane of deprivation, the bad bourn, the lower realms, in
hell!' Why is that? An enemy is not pleased with an enemy's going to heaven. Now, when a
person is angry -- overcome with anger, oppressed with anger -- he engages in misconduct
with the body, misconduct with speech, misconduct with the mind. Having engaged in
misconduct with the body, misconduct with speech, misconduct with the mind, then -- on the
break-up of the body, after death -- he reappears in the plane of deprivation, the bad bourn,
the lower realms, in hell, all because he was overcome with anger. This is the seventh thing
pleasing to an enemy, bringing about an enemy's aim, that comes to a man or woman who is
angry.
"These are the seven things -- pleasing to an enemy, bringing about an enemy's aim -- that
come to a man or woman who is angry."
An angry person is ugly & sleeps poorly.
Gaining a profit, he turns it into a loss,
having done damage with word & deed.
A person overwhelmed with anger
destroys his wealth.
Maddened with anger,
he destroys his status.
Relatives, friends, & colleagues avoid him.
Anger brings loss.
Anger inflames the mind.
He doesn't realize
that his danger is born from within.
An angry person doesn't know his own benefit.
An angry person doesn't see the Dhamma.
A man conquered by anger is in a mass of darkness.
He takes pleasure in bad deeds as if they were good,
but later, when his anger is gone,
he suffers as if burned with fire.
He is spoiled, blotted out,
like fire enveloped in smoke.
When anger spreads,
when a man becomes angry,
he has no shame, no fear of evil,
is not respectful in speech.
For a person overcome with anger,
nothing gives light.
I'll list the deeds that bring remorse,
that are far from the teachings.
Listen!
An angry person kills his father,
kills his mother,
kills Brahmans
& people run-of-the-mill.
It's because of a mother's devotion

that one sees the world,

yet an angry run-of-the-mill person
can kill this giver of life.
Like oneself, all beings hold themselves most dear,
yet an angry person, deranged,
can kill himself in many ways:
with a sword, taking poison,
hanging himself by a rope in a mountain glen.
Doing these deeds
that kill beings and do violence to himself,
the angry person doesn't realize that he's ruined.
This snare of Mara, in the form of anger,
dwelling in the cave of the heart:
cut it out with self-control,
discernment, persistence, right view.
The wise man would cut out
each & every form of unskillfulness.
Train yourselves:
'May we not be blotted out.'
Free from anger & untroubled,
free from greed, without longing,
tamed, your anger abandoned,
free from fermentation,
you will be unbound.
