There is no evil like hatred,
And no fortitude like patience.
Thus I should strive in various ways
To meditate on patience.
Shantideva
What should we do in the face of hatred? Of harsh speech, vindictive behavior? Forbear. Forbear like Lord Buddha advised the beaten and bloodied Angulimala after he had been attacked during his pindapata.
