Hatred Does Not Cease By Hatred

Hatred Doesn't Cease by Hatred In this teaching, Andrew Chapman explores hatred, suffering, and how the mind constructs separateness through stories about ourselves and others. He explains why anger and hatred are not the same, how the Buddha frames them differently, and why understanding is a path out of suffering. Andrew draws on Buddhist teachings, recovery language, and real-world examples—including school violence and the story of Sunita the Sweeper—to show how compassion can interrupt the cycle of harm. “Hatred never ends through hatred, but by love alone it is healed.” “Anger is what happens to us. Hatred is something we keep doing.” WHAT BECOMES OF THE BROKEN HEARTED?
