Hate brings great misfortune
Hate churns up and harms the mind;
This fearful danger deep within
Most people do not understand.
Thus spoilt one cannot know the good,
Cannot see things as they are.
Only blindness and gloom prevail
When one is overwhelmed by hate.
So develop a mind full of love;
Be compassionate and restrained in virtue;
Arouse your energy, be resolute,
Always firm in making progress.
