Good is Substitution of the 5 Hindrances with their opposites:
1:
Sense-Desire
(kāma-chanda)
should be substituted with attention to
disgust.
2:
Angry ill-will (vyāpāda)
should be substituted with
gentle
universal friendliness.
3: Lethargy-&-laziness
(thīna-middha)
can be substituted with enthusiastic
energy.
4:
Restlessness-&-regret (uddhacca-kukkucca)
should be substituted with
calm.
5: Skeptical
doubt
(vicikicchā)
should be substituted with
incisive
examination.
Substitution
of these 5
hindrances works as long, as one is
aware of them...
Momentary suppression of these
5
hindrances is obtained during
Meditation...
Irreversible elimination by cut-off is achieved, when
attaining Nobility...
