Dear Thầy, dear respected Thầy, dear Sisters, and dear community, First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Thầy. In the past two days, Thầy has given two wonderful Dharma talks about the mind. The talk on "The Precious Jewel" as well as yesterday's talk on Mindfulness, Concentration, and Insight. Thầy, I actually have five questions. But according to Thầy, Thầy only allows me to ask one question.

So now, I won't ask a personal question, but I will ask a question for the whole community. I think Thầy's explanation will benefit all of us today. Thầy, I have noticed that whether I was in Vietnam, studying abroad, or attending any gatherings, whether they were monastic or lay gatherings, In general, the spiritual realm is not much different from the worldly realm. I have observed that jealousy and envy are prevalent everywhere. And I think that if the world is to be peaceful, these feelings of jealousy and envy must be absent. As long as these feelings are present, the world will never be at peace. So today, I would like to ask Thầy, what methods can Thầy teach us to practice in both the spiritual realm and the lay community to address this issue?

How can we transform the mind of jealousy and selfishness into a mind of joy and compassion in Buddhism? And secondly, at what point will all of us be able to let go of that jealous mind, dear Thầy? That is my question, and I sincerely ask Thầy to explain this to me personally and to the community in general. I bow to the Buddha, our original teacher, Shakyamuni.

Jealousy is one of many afflictions; it is like mud. If we know how, we can use the mud to grow lotuses. The issue is not about eliminating all jealousy. The issue is not like that; jealousy is a part of life. Never hope to remove all jealousy from life; that will never happen. What we do is learn how to use that jealousy and transform it into love. Just like without mud, how can we grow lotuses?

Where does life come from? Because life includes both suffering and happiness. The Buddha also taught this. He said that we must know how to use suffering to create happiness. Therefore, the teaching of the Four Noble Truths begins with suffering. To transform suffering into happiness. Then, when impermanent happiness turns into suffering, we transform it again. So, the issue is not how to eliminate jealousy, but how to recognize and use that jealousy to cultivate love and happiness.

And the answer is, we should not try to make everyone give up jealousy all at once. The most important thing is ourselves, whether we are jealous or not. When we are not jealous, we become a living Dharma seal. And those who come to us will learn from our virtue, our lack of jealousy. We must start from that point. Trying to make everyone give up jealousy at the same time, that will never happen. We must first let go of our own jealousy. Then our close ones, like our brothers and sisters, our disciples, seeing us do this, seeing that we can do this, they will follow us, and gradually it will spread. Now, let me read a question that has been written down. I have a son who graduated from university, has a job, and no longer contacts his parents. He does not want to have any connection with his parents at all.
