Then Fury the chief went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: \u201cWhat is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some people are regarded as furious, while others are regarded as gentle?\u201d \u201cTake someone who hasn\u2019t given up greed. So they get annoyed by others, and they show it. They\u2019re regarded as furious. They haven\u2019t given up hate. So they get annoyed by others, and they show it. They\u2019re regarded as furious. They haven\u2019t given up delusion. So they get annoyed by others, and they show it. They\u2019re regarded as furious. This is the cause, this is the reason why some people are regarded as furious. But take someone who has given up greed. So they don\u2019t get annoyed by others, and don\u2019t show it. They\u2019re regarded as gentle. They\u2019ve given up hate. So they don\u2019t get annoyed by others, and don\u2019t show it. They\u2019re regarded as gentle. They\u2019ve given up delusion. So they don\u2019t get annoyed by others, and don\u2019t show it. They\u2019re regarded as gentle. This is the cause, this is the reason why some people are regarded as gentle.\u201d When he said this, Fury the chief said to the Buddha, \u201cExcellent, sir! Excellent! As if he were righting the overturned, or revealing the hidden, or pointing out the path to the lost, or lighting a lamp in the dark so people with clear eyes can see what\u2019s there, the Buddha has made the teaching clear in many ways. I go for refuge to the Buddha, to the teaching, and to the mendicant Sa\u1e45gha. From this day forth, may the Buddha remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life.\u201d","title":"Fury","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":287}
