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