Antidotes


The spirit of awakening is the antidote to ignoring, passivity, and automatic routines.

Renunciation and restraint are the antidotes to harmful impulses.

Body-grounded awareness is the antidote to wandering in thoughts and emotions.

Stable attention is the antidote to reactivity.

Seeing clearly is the antidote to delusions of permanence and solidity.

Undistracted non-reactive presence is the antidote to willful manipulation.

Equanimity is the antidote to grasping and rejecting.

Kindness, compassion, and sympathetic joy are the antidotes to fearful self-centeredness.
