What is a Buddhist approach to reducing envy? Envy is an explicitly unwholesome mind-state, according to Buddhist doctrine. Unfortunately I am experiencing strong envy lately. Can somebody please provide any and all resources to help understand and eliminate envious feelings?
The Pali scriptures say the antidote for envy is to practise 'mudita', which is to be happy for the happiness &amp; success of others. The phrase for the practise/recollection of mudita is: "may all beings not be parted from the good fortune they have attained".
