(Minghui.org) Master specifically addressed jealousy in Zhuan Falun:
“The issue of jealousy is very serious as it directly involves the matter of whether you can complete cultivation practice.”
Jealousy is a manifestation of sentimentality and an abrogation that needs to be completely eliminated by Falun Dafa practitioners. This is something that must be clearly understood. There are no ifs, ands, or buts.
My mother said to a wealthy relative, “Although your family is well off, what we receive through cultivation is unrivaled.” Her relative did not respond to this remark, but I could tell from his facial expression that he either did not believe my mother or could not understand what she was trying to tell him.
Having witnessed my mother's remark, I said to her later, “I know what we get from cultivation is invaluable, and no worldly wealth could be compared to it. However, your words show that your heart was disturbed by jealousy because of other people's wealth. If your heart hadn't been disturbed, you would feel happy because they did well. It's their blessing.”
When we offer salvation to sentient beings, we can use people's search for gratification to tell them how to ensure their safety. However, if we start competing with them on wisdom and wealth, we may achieve just the opposite. They may thus develop a dislike for Falun Dafa.
