Dhammapada · 17.1

Kodhaṃ jahe vippajaheyya mānaṃ, saṃyojanaṃ sabbamatikkameyya;Taṃ nāmarūpasmiṃ asajjamānaṃ, akiñcanaṃ nānupatanti dukkhā.

Kodham jahe vippajaheyya manam, samyojanam sabbamatikkameyya; Tam namarupasmim asajjamanam, akincanam nanupatanti dukkha.

One should abandon anger, give up conceit, transcend all fetters. Suffering does not follow one who clings not to name-and-form, who owns nothing.
