“Mendicants, without directly knowing and completely understanding anger, without dispassion for it and giving it up, you can’t end suffering. By directly knowing and completely understanding anger, having dispassion for it and giving it up, you can end suffering.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
