External notes

Are metta and karuna equivalent to right resolve? Or is non-ill will and non-harming broader in meaning?

Proof: A-byāpāda is non ill will, not 'metta', as Theravāda Commentary claims

TITWOW syndrome, 'byāpāda': some translators inconsistently interpret that as "good will" or "free of ill will"

What's the difference between 2. byapada and 3. vihimsa?

Woudn't #3 already presuppose #2?

MN 8 excellent proof of right resolve showing Abyāpāda is non-ill will, a mental activity and Avihiṃsā is non harming, a physical activity.

byapada (ill will)

is a mental intention wishing some being(s) suffer, are harmed, killed, etc., 

but probably does not include a firm intention for you personally to carry out actions to ensure said beings are harmed.

Whereas with

vi-himsa (very-harmful, cruelty)

there is an intention to carry out a plan to harm being(s), 

which is a much more serious karmic consequence if acted upon, 

than simply wishing beings are harmed.
