If an evil man, on hearing of what is good, comes and creates a disturb- ance, you should hold your peace. Sutra of Forty-two Sections 7 Brethren, if outsiders should speak against me, or against the Doctrine, or against the Order, you should not on that account either bear malice, or suffer resentment, or feel ill will. If you, on that account, should feel angry and hurt, that would stand in the way of your own self- conquest. Dhammapada 3-5, p. 999. Analects 16.7, p. 928.
Anger solves nothing.
To practice this teaching, by resolving each day's quarrels and meditating to digest each day's resentments before going to bed each night, is a valuable spiritual exercise. For when anger is stored up day after day, it becomes much harder to eradicate. Romans 12.19-20, p. 1007. Matthew 5.27-28, p. 931. Jerusalem Talmud, Nedarin 9.4, p. 993.
