AN 4.44  Dutiya kodhagaru sutta - Valuing Anger (Second)

“Cattārome, bhikkhave, asaddhammā. Katame cattāro? Kodhagarutā na saddhammagarutā, makkhagarutā na saddhammagarutā, lābhagarutā na saddhammagarutā, sakkāragarutā na saddhammagarutā. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro asaddhammā.

“Bhikkhus, there are these four unwholesome practices. What four? 1) Valuing |anger::rage, wrath, fury, indignation [kodha]|, not valuing the |good Dhamma::good teaching, true doctrine, true nature of things, four foundations of mindfulness [saddhamma = sat + dhamma]|; 2) valuing |contempt::ungratefulness, depreciation, denigration, disrespect, belittlement, disparagement [makkha]|, not valuing the good Dhamma; 3) valuing |acquisitions::gain, money, profit, possessions [lābha]|, not valuing the good Dhamma; 4) valuing |respect::honor, accolade, reverence [sakkāra]|, not valuing the good Dhamma. These are the four unwholesome practices.

Cattārome, bhikkhave, saddhammā. Katame cattāro? Saddhammagarutā na kodhagarutā, saddhammagarutā na makkhagarutā, saddhammagarutā na lābhagarutā, saddhammagarutā na sakkāragarutā. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro saddhammāti.

Bhikkhus, there are these four wholesome practices. What four? 1) Valuing the good Dhamma, not valuing anger; 2) valuing the good Dhamma, not valuing contempt; 3) valuing the good Dhamma, not valuing acquisitions; 4) valuing the good Dhamma, not valuing respect. These are the four wholesome practices.”

Verse

Kodhamakkhagaru bhikkhu,
lābhasakkāragāravo;
Sukhette pūtibījaṁva,
saddhamme na virūhati.

Bhikkhus who value anger and contempt,
and who revere gain and honor;
Do not grow in the good Dhamma,
taught by the perfectly Awakened One.

Ye ca saddhammagaruno,
vihaṁsu viharanti ca;
Te ve dhamme virūhanti,
snehānvayamivosadhā”ti.

But those who value the good Dhamma,
and live in accordance with it;
They indeed grow in the good Dhamma,
taught by the perfectly Awakened One.
