Friends:
How to prevent, tranquilize, and cure Enmity?
Ill will is the wishing evil
for others: 'May they
meet much
pain
and perish!'
It is a derivative of hate usually provoked
by possessive defensiveness...
What to do
if such malevolent grudge often recurs?
1: Develop
Infinite Friendliness (Metta)
by starting
daily meditation.
2: Cultivate
Endless Pity (Karuna)
by regular
daily meditation.
3: Increase Universal
Equanimity (Upekkha)
by
daily meditation.
4: Stop all thinking on the disliked object. Attend to a liked object.
5: Know that everyone is then owner of the consequences of
their actions (Kamma)
whether good or bad...
6: Remember the
Simile of the Saw... The Blessed Buddha once said:
Friends, even if bandits were to cut you up, savagely, limb by limb,
with a two-handled saw, you should not be angry, but do my bidding:
Remain pervading them with a friendly
Awareness imbued with an
all-embracing good-will, kind, rich, expansive, immeasurable & free
from hostility, free from all ill will. Always remembering this very
Simile of the Saw is indeed how you should train yourselves...
Majjhima Nikāya 21

7: All phenomena are only combinations of the Elements of:
Solidity, Fluidity, Heat, Motion, Space and Consciousness...
Then think like this:
"Which of these elements am I angry at and why so?"
Then the evil ill-will may momentarily vanish right on
the spot!
Remember and repeat this good-will-cure whenever necessary...
