This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
“Mendicants, without directly knowing and completely understanding disdain, without dispassion for it and giving it up, you can’t end suffering. By directly knowing and completely understanding disdain, having dispassion for it and giving it up, you can end suffering.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
“When overcome by disdain beings go to a bad place. Having rightly understood that disdain, the discerning give it up. Once they’ve given it up, they never return to this world.”
