I want to get rid of the feeling of jealousy. I want to make it lighter.

I'm asking a question for the first time.
If I listen to Buddhism over and over again, will my feelings of jealousy decrease if I look at myself?

Humans are the ones who get jealous, and isn't it okay to keep it that way? I also feel like it's going to be said,

I think I'm usually a person who isn't really jealous,

No matter what, if you look at people who are active in the same playing field as yourself,
“Even though I have more power! It's just that no chance comes around.”
What a sense of jealousy spurts up.

I don't think I want to have that kind of feeling, so when that kind of jealousy springs up, that itself becomes painful.

I don't care, I don't care. Amida has always been my point of view.

Although I tried muttering,

I don't feel much of an effect.

Do monks who have accumulated virtue almost never feel jealous?

What should I do without feeling it?

You don't have to “look at me” the other person's current situation

Other people's success may shine brightly on you, but they're just using the 24 hours they've been given equally, just like you.
However, they may be better at using that time than you.
But no matter how much you envy people's success, it's not you.

Jealousy is a feeling of envy caused by unknowingly “bashing” one's partner.
Please remember carefully how you felt when you were suffering from jealousy.
Despite the fact that your partner is an independent entity from you, you are
・It was like it was mine.
・It was done to me.
・I was trying to apply it to the rule.
・I was looking at things from my own perspective on the world.
・I can't forgive myself for deviating from my expectations and plans.

It's a state of not seeing someone as they really are.
It's as if they wanted to spread jam or butter on the original clean bread, and they didn't want to enjoy the product itself.
My opponent is originally like a plain loaf of bread. There's no flavor attached to it.
You've changed it to your own taste and have seen “leave it up.”
If you can calmly understand that you are unwittingly dramatizing your partner through a filter of thoughts, jealousy will naturally go away.

They're just doing themselves at their own pace and using themselves.
You're just using yourself to make others feel bad, at your own pace.
That would be a waste of time. σ (^_^;)
It's time to determine if the playing field you're standing on is really a real playing field.
No matter how far jealousy goes, it's nothing but solo sumo wrestlers who view their imaginary opponents as hostile.
It was only when I realized that I was a solo sumo wrestler that I was able to “listen” to Buddhism for the first time.
The person you really should be dealing with is today, here, in the real playing field right in front of you, and they've been beckoning “Koch, Kochi” since a while ago. σ (^_^;) Please come down from the inner ring.

Better be the driving force for self-improvement

Most people probably don't want to acknowledge their own jealousy as jealousy, so it's great that you acknowledge it clearly. Amida said, don't worry, don't worry... but I admire you.

I haven't accumulated much virtue, so it may not be very helpful, but those who have really accumulated virtue will answer, “No, I still have a long way to go.” Therefore, I thought Tonton was probably less jealous than many others.

However, since they are actually suffering from that, the current situation is difficult.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could better accept jealousy as jealousy, turn jealousy into a competitive spirit, and a competitive spirit into a driving force for self-improvement? Even if the motives are impure, they will eventually become such that people around them admire you. By that time, there should be much less suffering and jealousy than it is now.

Toward the practice of wisdom (understanding of emptiness) and convenience (mercify/altruism)

Tonton-sama

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.

Jealousy is an affliction, and it's really troublesome.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/嫉

Regarding worries, we are also dealing with the following questions.

Question “What are people's worries”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/82

Question “What is the ugliest thing in the world”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/66

In order to prevent worries from coming out, it is necessary to do something about ignorance (fundamental ignorance), which is the root cause of this, and bring it to a state where the truth is bright.

In order to exterminate this ignorance, wisdom (understanding of the sky) and the practice of convenience (mercify/altruism) are required.

Of course, even if you are a beginner in Buddhism, it may be quite difficult to understand even if they are suddenly told that it is wise or convenient.

Therefore, as an observation that everything is “impermanent,” even if it is simple, that all things and things change, is it possible for the “jealous” self and the target person to have something that does not change forever and forever, whether it is possible to have a state of oneself that is “jealous” forever even when sleeping or waking up, and whether it is possible for a person or situation that remains the same forever and forever without changing about that target person, for example, In addition to thinking about and being understood little by little about the Buddhist truths that are “impermanent” and “unselfish” even 100 years from now... I wonder how to start by being aware of and protecting the “Ten Good Commandments” (unmurderous, unscrupulous, unscrupulous words, unscrupulous words, unscrupulous words, unscrupulous words, unscrupulous words, indecent words, unscrupulous words) I know it.

Furthermore, I believe it will become important to work on things such as volunteering, service, and charitable activities as an active act of good virtue.

Eventually, I believe that if the heart that treats the happiness of various other people as equals can be nourished, jealousy will surely stop occurring. There's still a long way to go. Let's work hard together.

good jealousy bad jealousy

To Tonton-sama

There's still more to it, and to be honest, I sometimes have feelings of jealousy.
However, I realized a way of thinking.

It means there is good jealousy and bad jealousy.
Good jealousy means change it to your own energy based on that feeling
I'm going to work in a good direction.
There is also Mr. Masuda's answer
Isn't it important to change your own driving force?

What is the next time you have a feeling of jealousy
I would like you to put it into practice.
