REFLECTION
Do you want to have great influence? If you do, you should try to be a woman or man who does not envy or begrudge the gain, honour, respect, reverence, obeisance and devotion received by others. Instead, you should rejoice: that is what we called sympathetic joy. Such are the wor­k­ings of kamma.
