Reply To: Y2Q7) Comparing the two lists of hindrances to concentration

As Buddhists, we believe that Right Speech takes priority over Free Speech. Put simply, Right Speech means abstaining from gossip and talk which is false, malicious, or harsh. Write only what you believe to be true and relevant, voicing your opinion with kindness and patience. Avoid worldly, partisan, or discriminatory topics and remarks that are patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, racist, anti-semitic, pro-nazi, bio essentialist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic or any other kind of hateful views even if such advocacy is couched in terms of ‘discussing the texts’ or ‘maintaining tradition’.

Nice contrbution! I like your analysis of antidote and outcome of meditation! Perhaps we can see Asanga’s list of antidotes more as a toolbox to overcoming the hindrances to meditation, and the Theravada list more as putting a little effort, just by placing one’s attention towards it, to uncover the potential which is already there.
