After removing mental impurities, the vacuum should be filled with wholesome thoughts: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. This chapter emphasises that true kindness must begin with oneself; a stressed person cannot effectively practice kindness to others until they relieve their own internal stress. These qualities nourish the mind, maintain inner happiness, and help in professional settings, such as hospital care, by providing free medications through kind words.
