If we are aware of the Three Poisons, their causes and their cures, we can bring about a wonderful metamorphosis. Through the practice of loving kindness and compassion, these bitter poisons can be changed into sweet nectars, from which will evolve true happiness, replacing the fakes and counterfeits we have become used to.

I am sorry, but as a Theravada Buddhist, I must say that merely practicing the four immeasurables does not eradicate ignorance or delusion. Anyone who believes so is truly deluded.
