Buddhist texts traditionally list the five disturbing emotions beginning with attachment and then move on to aggression, stupidity, jealousy, and arrogance. But here I’d like to start with jealousy because it is the most obvious, ridiculous, and embarrassing of all the emotions, which makes it easier to overcome. If we practice working with jealousy first, we will have more confidence in working with the subtlety of the other emotions later. The jealous mind wants what others have, be it physical attributes, wealth, intelligence, someone else’s spouse, their job, status, spiritual accomplishments, and so on. Because it focuses on what it doesn’t have, it feels impoverished and discontented all the time. When we are possessed by jealousy, it is as if something were lacking in our very existence—something that someone else has. Jealousy is a comparative dynamic that causes us to resent others. We resent their positive attributes and continually search for their weaknesses: “Why do they possess those attributes that should belong to me!” “The jealous mind is gross and obvious. Not only do we lose respect for ourselves when we feel jealous, but everyone else loses respect for us too. We feel exposed like a worm whose rock has been overturned. As much as we want to hide, we lose face. In this way, the grossness of jealousy has some value—nothing is hidden, so we can see it and then try to overcome it… Or at least have a good laugh
 
I prefer Confucius study. More humane teaching.

阿弥陀佛!time to switch for your own good. when you have achieve all materialistic things in life, the one lacking is religion and that is Buddhism. it's a circle, for your own good! 阿弥陀佛...

i studied confucian before and i became confused, i think confucian basically is how you treat others, whereas, buddhism preached even kindness to animals.

it means you are low conscious loser.

High conscious individual do not get involved in such energy wasting emotions and spend their energy wisely such as helping others. If you have a problem with such negative emotions, it means you didn't live your life in an upward trajectory orientation in your life.

You can't see way past those material and linked it heavily to social conditioning. You are easily controlled by the social conditioning of the society and also of course by the govt.

A growing number of sinkies are rejecting buddhism and turning to Christianity. I rather follow pastor ronnie's teachings than some mumbo-jumbo written in ancient keling script.

not all kelings are bad pple, it's those in power that are bad.
 
That is the reason why we get reborn again in this realm as humans or animals to suffer the trials and tribulations of worldy sins and emotions until we reached enlightenment.

According to many spiritual teachers, all human beings are, in reality, spiritual beings on a human journey. We reincarnate as human beings in order to evolve our souls.
