The Five Ways to
Overcome Annoying Irritation!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
There are, Bhikkhus & friends, five methods of overcoming irritation,
whereby the anger & annoyance that has arisen in a Bhikkhu may be
overcome, stilled and quelled on the spot. Which are these?
Towards any person against whom hate, anger or nuisance might arise,
1: One should develop all-embracing kind
friendliness ...
2: One should develop all-embracing
compassionate
pity ...
3: One
should develop imperturbable & indifferent
equanimity ...
4: One should not pay him any attention or consideration at all ...
5: One should know the law of the
ownership of kamma,
that oneself
& this person too is the
owner &
inheritor of the results of own action!
That
oneself & this person too is
created
by the results of own action!
That
oneself & this person too has the result of own action as
destiny!
In
these 5 ways may the wise Bhikkhu overcome his anger & hatred!
