4👑☸ → 👑8☸ → 2💭 Sammā-saṅkappo: right resolve
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?

byapada (ill will)
is a mental intention, but is not an intention to act upon that ill-will with bodily action or verbal action. Whereas with
vi-himsa (very-harmful, cruelty)
there is an intention to do bodily harm or verbal harm (with words to cause harm, injury), which is a much more serious karmic consequence if acted upon.
