‘Bodhisattvacharyavattara’ :: ‘For this enemy has no other function’

Posted on Jun 22, 2006 by jason

Of what use is hatred?

Having found its fuel of mental unhappiness
In the prevention of what I wish for
And in the doing of what I do not want,
Hatred increases and then destroys me.

Therefore I should totally eradicate
The fuel of this enemy;
For this enemy has no other function
Than that of causing me harm.
