Removing Grudges

Aṅguttara Nikāya 108 (V, 161)

If a grudge has arisen towards someone then these are the five main ways to remove that grudge.

  • Cultivate loving-kindness towards them.
  • Cultivate compassion towards them.
  • Cultivate equanimity towards them.
  • Pay no attention to them and give them no thought.
  • Apply to them the thought that they own their karma. This person is heir to their actions both good and bad.
