When you get angry at an angry person you just make things worse for yourself. When you don\u2019t get angry at an angry person you win a battle hard to win. When you know that the other is angry, you act for the good of both yourself and the other if you\u2019re mindful and stay calm. People inexpert in the teaching consider one who heals both oneself and the other to be a fool. If anger arises in you, reflect on the simile of the saw; if craving for flavors arises in you, remember the simile of the child\u2019s flesh. If your mind runs off to sensual pleasures and future lives, quickly curb it with mindfulness, as one would curb a greedy cow eating grain.","title":"Brahmadatta","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":142}
