“‘I’m not easily upset in mind,
nor easily led into a whirl.
I don’t get angry for long.
Anger doesn’t persist in me.
When angry, I don’t speak harshly
or insist on my virtues.
I keep myself well under control
with an eye to my own good.’”
Notes
1. Repeating one’s name in this fashion was, at that time, considered a sign of respect. See DN 16, note 46.
