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

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.
