The point of Buddhist teachings is to control your own mind. Restrain your mind from thoughts of greed. This will keep your mind in balance, your body right and your words will be faithful.Two of the biggest evils are greed and anger. They lead to other evils.
If you find your mind moving towards malicious thoughts and tempted to dwell on them, you must suppress those thoughts. You must push them out. Meditation is the best way, but failing that, distraction is another way. Divert your thoughts to better things.
Always think constructive thoughts -- not destructive thoughts.
Remember, the key to all of this is tranquility, peace of mind and enlightenment.
Suppress the ego, think of good thoughts and strive to be tranquil. That is the way to enlightenment.
