The Equanimity of Sankharas in the Eleven Wholesome Mental Factors

The equanimity among the eleven wholesome mental factors refers to the state where one originally intended to retaliate against others in some way but now abandons such retaliation. It corresponds to the unconditioned, aligns with wholesome mental states, and involves relinquishing unwholesome actions while cultivating wholesome ones. Retaliating against others is an unwholesome mental factor, constituting a conditioned unwholesome action.

The accomplishment of precepts also enables the mind to correspond to wholesome dharmas, to align with equanimity, to resonate with non-harming, and to harmonize with the absence of greed, absence of hatred, and absence of delusion.
