ANGER

        Conquer anger by love,
        Conquer evil by good,
        Conquer the miser by liberality,
        Conquer the liar by truth.

          Satienpong Winnapok.

HATE
        At any time in this world,
        Hatred never ceases by hatred,
        But through non-hatred it ceases.
        This is an eternal law.

OPRESSION

        He who inflicts punishment on those
        Who are harmless, and who offend no-one
        Speedily comes to one of these states:

        To grievous bodily pain,
        To disaster,
        To bodily injury,
        To serious illness,
        To loss of mind will he come.

        To oppression by the king,
        To grave accusation,
        To loss of relatives,
        To destruction of wealth.

        Or his house will be burnt up with fire,
        And that unwise one will pass to hell
        In the world to come.

                 Satienpong Winnapok.
