| Avirodita Avirodita means non-conflict. This means that you don't get into conflict, you don't go into unnecessary debate and argument. You don't go to supress others views, opinions. It would be very normal that in a group of beings that there will be differences of opinion, different view points because it is the norm of the world that every one does not see the same thing at the same time. Some see the truth here and now. Some see it later. Some don't see it at all. Because of that, one has to have the restraint, the wisdom and equanimity in order to avoid falling into situations of conflict, unnecessary argument and debate. However, when one is convinced about the truth, such truth is not abandoned. One carries on with one's task without going into conflict with others. To possess this quality one must be rich in wisdom and equanimity, where one is unperturbed, does not flutter on occasions when one is provoked. So equanimity becomes the tool with which one safeguards one's mind for the development and practice of non-conflict. |
