We can keep pace with the times in life, live with fate and be content. Our life is not smooth now, and our life is not good. Why is our life not good? If you have no good reason, you deserve it. It's no use complaining if you don't have a good reason. You can only accept the facts without complaining. If you don't complain, you have a chance to change your destiny. Complaining about others, with resentment, is over, and life is getting harder and harder. So we can only:
No regrets, no anger.
I am unlucky. When something bad happens to me, repentance is the only way. Can only repent, not regret. Why? My bad life is due to the bad things I did in the past, and now this bad life is the result. So what is repentance? "Repentance" means knowing what you have done wrong in the past, which is wrong and should not be done. "Regret" means that I swear never to do such a wrong thing again. So one is a lesson from the past and the other is knowledge. The past is like yesterday's death, and the future is like today's life. What does "regret" mean? I also know that I shouldn't do that, but it means complaining and clinging to the past. Now that the past mistakes have been done, it's no use regretting them. Vowing never to do it again is positive and beneficial.
Don't be jealous of others. Something bad happened to me myself. I'm unlucky, or as I said, I created a bad career from the past, and now I get this reward. I asked for it, and now that I have done it, I must dare to bear it. Others are luckier and happier than me because their careers are better than mine. This is not fate, but fate itself, so it is completely fair and just.
So now others are better than me and I am not as good as him. I'm not as good as him. It's no use being jealous of him. Why? I envy him. I can't be better than him now Only from now on, according to the cause and effect, I will try to turn over a new leaf and be better than him in the future. Don't worry, people don't only have a lifetime, but there will be endless life after that. The future has no end, and there is plenty of time. I have every chance to pass him.
So if I don't understand this truth now and don't fix the cause, then it's not good now, and it will definitely continue to be bad in the future, getting worse and worse, and completely degenerating. I understand now that this causal truth is the greatest blessing. I understand that others don't understand that my blessings are greater than others. Even a person who understands this truth may not always observe everything with this truth. Because although this truth is true, most people either don't believe it or think it's simple and don't pay attention to it. Now I can always observe and think with this karma principle, and I understand that it is useless to be jealous of others. If you are jealous of others, you will feel resentful and lose your temper, which will hurt yourself. Besides, jealousy is the cause of Asura, and hatred is the cause of hell. It's terrible, planting the seeds of three evil ways. In the future, we will not be better than others, but degenerate into three evils. Look, it's not worth the candle.
Therefore, it is useless not to be angry, and it is useless to be angry and jealous. Only when you are angry do you have the desire to succeed and change. In Buddhism, expressing bodhicitta is incredible and powerful, no matter what kind of mind it is. Being angry means working hard from now on. What do you want to do? If you cultivate good causes, you will have good results and good results in the future.
