Letting Go of Resentment

(Minghui.org) Resentment is an attachment that cultivators need to eliminate, and only by using the Dafa principles can resentment be let go.

I used to work with a fellow who often and deliberately made things difficult for me. It happened about ten years ago, and it lasted for several years. Being a practitioner, I didn’t fight back, but I still resented him, even though several years had passed.

I recently read some sharing about eliminating resentment, and understood that I actually gained virtue, reducing my karma, and my xinxing improved when another worker took advantage of me. It is a good thing for a practitioner, but I still held a little resentment in my heart.

I tried to look at the matter from a high level and came to an understanding. When my workmate made things difficult for me, it might be caused by the karma I owed. I might have hurt him before, and he might just want to take back what I owed. That is nothing to be angry about. At the same time, he gave me virtue, and my karma was eliminated and transformed into virtue. Although I can’t see virtue, I believe it is true. Virtue is precious. Cultivators need virtue to grow their energy potency. Therefore, it is a good thing for a cultivator. Thus, there is nothing to be angry or resentful about.

I applied the same principle and untangled a few more knots in my heart. I then reached a purer state of mind.
