* These nine factors arouse ill will. What nine?
One is bound by anger thinking:
1. `disadvantage was done to me.',
2. `disadvantage is done to me,'
3. `disadvantage will be done to me.'
One is bound by anger thinking:
4. `disadvantage was done to my near and dear ones,.'
5. `disadvantage is done to my near and dear ones,'
6. `disadvantage will be done to my near and dear ones.
'One is bound by anger thinking:
7.`advantage was done to my enemies,.'
8.`advantage is done to my enemies,'
9.`advantage will be done to my enemies.'
These nine factors arouse ill will, anger or hatred &
therefore called " Nawa Aaghata vattu".
May all beings be well and happy & attain the fruits of
Nibbana.
