Look at one person who annoys you,

and use the opportunity to counter your

own anger and cultivate compassion.

But if the annoyance is too powerful –

if you find the person so repulsive that

you cannot bear to be in his or her

presence – it may be better to look for

the exit! Here is the principle: it is

better not to avoid events or persons

who annoy you, who give rise to anger,

if your anger is not too strong. But if

the encounter is not possible, work on

your anger and develop compassion

by yourself.

看著一個讓你厭煩的人吧,

用這個機會來對抗你的怒氣, 培養慈悲心.

如果會帶來太大的困擾 –

如果這個人讓你厭惡到無法同處一室 –

就先退場! 原則是:

只要你的怒氣沒那麼高,

最好不要避開你不喜歡

或是讓你生氣的事或人.

但若絕對無法相處,

就先自行練習控制自己的怒氣,

自行培養慈悲心吧.
