And how does a Buddhist deal with Jealousy?
welcome Skelosia
the Buddha taught the antidote for jealousy is appeciate joy (
mudita
), namely, generating happiness for the happiness of others
as commonly taught: "May you not be parted from your good fortune" is a meditation on
mudita
(appreciative/sympathetic joy)
kind regards
element
Budda said:
Develop the meditation of good will (
metta
). For when you are developing the meditation of good will, ill-will will be abandoned.
Develop the meditation of compassion (
karuna
). For when you are developing the meditation of compassion, cruelty will be abandoned.
Develop the meditation of appreciation (
mudita
). For when you are developing the meditation of appreciation, envy will be abandoned.
Develop the meditation of equanimity (
upeka
). For when you are developing the meditation of equanimity, irritation will be abandoned.
