Hatred reveals itself in many ways. In daily life, quarrels and fights triggered by hatred can be witnessed everywhere. Some become angered by disagreements with each other; some confront each other furiously over conflicts of interest. When others bring trouble or harm to us, we may develop hatred towards them. To top it off, we sometimes take our anger out on others by blaming our faults on them.
嗔恨又能使微小的冲突不断升级，当嗔心被付诸行动时，理智不见了，道德不见了，甚至连法律也不见了。正如佛经所说的那样：“一念嗔心起，百万障门开。”
Jealousy also comes from hatred. While we are capable of having minds as vast as the sky, there are times when we become so narrow-minded that we fail to consider anyone but ourselves. When envy clouds our minds, we might find it hard to tolerate the glory, success, or happiness of others.
嫉妒是一种可怕的心理，我们会出于嫉妒去诽谤他人，干扰他人，处处为他人设置障碍。我们甚至会在极端的嫉妒下，欲置他人于死地而后快，走上犯罪道路。
Jealousy is a terrible state of mind. Out of jealousy, we slander others, interfere with their lives, and create obstacles for them at every turn. Under extreme jealousy, we may even take delight in wishing death upon them, thus embarking on the path of crime.
所以随喜是非常殊胜的法门，不仅能帮助我们有效克服嫉妒，还是成办世出世间功德的捷径。
So rejoicing over others’ merits is an extraordinary practice that helps us overcome jealousy effectively and offers us a shortcut to obtain both mundane and supramundane merits.
