Friend Kevin cleverly asked:

Question:
I feel compelled to ask how one is able to reduce
the influence of greed, hatred, and delusion
in speech, action, and thoughts?
Answer:
Greed is reduced by repeated reflection on disgust (=corpse meditation)
Hatred is reduced by repeated reflection on friendliness (=metta meditation)
Delusion is reduced by repeated reflection on cause & effect (=vipassana meditation)
This works in all the three doors.
