Friends: Good is Substitution of the 5 Hindrances with their opposites:
1: Desire <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/Colourful_but_Muddy.htm> (kāma-chanda <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/The_Fire_of_Sense-Desire.htm> ) should be substituted with attention on disgust <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/IV/Experiencing_Disgust.htm> . 2: Anger (vyāpāda <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/Anger_and_Irritation.htm> ) should be substituted with universal <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/How_to_Cure_Anger_and_Irritation...> friendliness. 3: Lethargy & laziness (thīna-middha <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/Lethargy_and_Laziness.htm> ) should be substituted with energy <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/Curing_Lethargy_and_Laziness.htm> . 4: Restlessness & regret (uddhacca-kukkucca <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/Restlessness_and_Regret.htm> ) should be substituted with calm <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/Curing_Restlessness_and_Regret.htm> . 5: Skeptical doubt <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/Doubt_and_Uncertainty.htm> (vicikicchā <file:///D:\Mydocs\My%20Web%20Sites\What_Buddha_Said\library\DPPN\wtb\u_v\v i cikicchaa.htm> ) should be substituted with <http://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/II/Curing_Doubt_and_Uncertainty.htm> examination.
Substitution of the hindrances works exactly as long, as one is Aware of it... Momentary suppression of the hindrances can be obtained during Meditation... Irreversible elimination by cut-off is achieved only, when attaining Nobility...
