10.p128

“What are nine things that advance? They are the nine non-vexations: ‘That person has harassed me, but what benefit is there in being troubled by it? [1] It didn’t trouble me then, [2] doesn’t trouble me now, and [3] won’t trouble me in the future.’ ‘Someone dear to me has been harassed, but what benefit is there in my being troubled by it? [4] It didn’t trouble me then, [5] doesn’t trouble me now, and [6] won’t trouble me in the future.’ ‘Someone I dislike has been loved and respected, but what benefit is there in my being troubled by it? [7] It didn’t trouble me then, [8] doesn’t trouble me now, and [9] won’t trouble me in the future.’
