"LOVE, NOT HATE.
COMPASSION, NOT REJECTION.
JOY, NOT ENVY.
EQUANIMITY, NOT EXCITEMENT.

When one is used to keeping the precepts (Sila), or being mindful of keeping the precepts, it is easier for one to:
Cultivate love, kindness, and let go of hate and anger.
Cultivate compassion and let go of rejecting and pushing away because of the perception of being inferior.
Cultivate joy towards others' achievements and let go of envy and jealousy.
Cultivate equanimity and let go of easy excitement from over-joy or over- sorrow."
