第6章忍惡無嗔

Patience for Hostility without Hatred

佛言。惡人聞善。故來撓亂者。汝自禁息。當無嗔責。彼來惡者。而自惡之。

The Buddha said: "When an evil-doer, seeing you practise goodness, comes and maliciously insults you, you should patiently endure it and not feel angry with him, for the evil-doer is insulting himself by trying to insult you."

法师讲解：忍惡無嗔

Commentary: Patience for hostility without hatred

From here on, the next few chapters will talk about patience. In Ekottaragama Sutra, it is mentioned that:

从这章开始，往下几章都是讲忍辱。《增一阿含经》讲到：

? Babies rely on crying as the source of strength;

小兒以啼為力；

? Women rely on hatred as the source of strength;　

女人以嗔恚為力；

? Monastics rely on patience as the source of strength;

沙門、婆羅門以忍為力；

? Kings rely on arrogance as the source of strength;

國王以憍慠為力；

? Buddhas rely on loving kindness as the source of strength.　

諸佛以大悲為力。

Patience is one of the six paramitas as practised by followers of the Bodhi path. Patience can help us cleanse our retribution and accumulate merits rapidly. We may want to know that karma will only disappear either by taking the consequences or by repentance. If we accept the consequences of bad karma at ease, retribution will vanish. However if we respond to the consequences with antipathy and create even more unwholesome deeds, retribution will grow like a rolling snowball then.

忍辱是六波罗蜜之一，是菩提道的重要修学。它可以让我们很快地消除业障，及累积福报，当知道业力必须透过受报或忏悔才可以消除，若然恶报现前时我们能安然接受的话，业就消了。但若是起嗔心再造新业，那么恶业只会像雪球那种越滚越大。

According to Buddhist wisdom, adversity is often handled in the way completely different from that of the secular world, and we call it conversion from adversity to virtues.

很多时佛法会以一些与世间大为不同的手法处理逆境，自是有它的道理，我们称之为转为道用。
