Chapter 181: Stew That Resentment
“Didi fu didi, Big Brother is flying the airplane.”
The boy’s mobile phone ringtone is always so magical; you never know what sound will appear, hahahaha.
“Are you there, Big Brother?”
“I’m here, what’s up, Younger Sister?”
“Brother, I want to ask, if I feel uncomfortable or irritated and resentful, what should I do?”
“Here’s what you do: When you’re bored, chant this phrase. Mr. Nan Huaijin also taught it. It comes from the Diamond Sutra. Repeat after me:
The great world, without hindrance, comes and goes freely, unburdened and at ease! If you wish to be born, then be born; do not seek an alternative.
This phrase is a mantra to dissolve resentment. Chant it when you have nothing else to do. If you feel ignorant, annoyed, resentful, or for any reason, just chant this.”
“Big Brother, what does this phrase mean?”
“Well, it means that sometimes, when people suddenly take flight, they develop resentment. Those electric waves float around, and anyone who encounters too many will easily become irritated and resentful, leading to depression and suicidal thoughts. In metaphysical stories, this is said to be searching for a substitute. If you cannot control your resentment, then focus on chanting this to dissuade it.”
“Ah? So that’s what it means when you have a lot of resentment in your heart?”
“What else do you think? Do you think it’s because of a specific person or a specific event?”
“Yes, I’ve always thought so.”
“Sometimes it is, indeed due to someone or something that makes you unhappy, causing you to complain. But when you send out this frequency signal, you attract electric waves of this frequency. That’s why you feel more resentful and angry, and over time, you get sick. Or, even if you haven’t thought of anything, resentment suddenly arises, and you feel unhappy. It’s just like that. Don’t be afraid, there are plenty of those things around. Big Brother used to fight them a lot, and I beat them all back. I’ll teach you, just chant this and be done with it.”
“If chanting doesn’t make it behave, then curse it and tell it: ‘Go to hell~! Get lost~!’ Did I ask to resent you? Did I say I wanted to resent you? Get lost~! If you keep showing off, I’ll manifest my thoughts into a sword and slice you to death, you son of a bitch! Go back where you came from! Do you even know who your Big Brother is? A mere ignorance and resentment, you think you can bully me? I’m spoiling you~! Hahahaha.”
“Hahahaha, Big Brother, if I thought about it like that, I’d start laughing right away, hahaha.”
“That’s right! Damn it, if you’re with me, you won’t let emotions control you! I’ll beat them to death~! Hehehe.”
“Heeheehee, thank you, Big Brother. I’ll just chant it when I’m bored. If the resentment feels heavy, I’ll curse it, hmph~!”
“Yeah, damn it all, they’re spoiled. They can go back where they came from. If they keep showing off, even ghosts won’t be able to accomplish anything. Use complaints to practice not complaining, use your fiery temper to beat resentment, all negative emotions are under the jurisdiction of our Wuji Sword Sect. Do you think they can control us? I’ll just have a thought, stir-fry some oil, and eat them up.
“But usually it’s not that complicated. If you suddenly feel like your emotions are off, and you don’t intend to get angry or complain, just think of these words, and they’ll run away immediately, hahaha. Don’t be afraid, Big Brother is here.”
“Big Brother, when I hear you say this, I understand why many people who seemed happy suddenly couldn’t think it through and left. It turns out they didn’t realize they were trapped by negative emotions. If they had known they were controlled by their emotions, they wouldn’t have done that. If you had appeared earlier, Big Brother, and these people could have seen your books, I guess they wouldn’t have done that.”
“Oh dear, that depends on fate. When Big Brother was ignorant, I also wanted to meet someone enlightened who could tell me, but I couldn’t find anyone. After I attained enlightenment and woke up, I appeared because I was afraid you wouldn’t understand.”
“Thank you, Big Brother. If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t understand. And if I kept complaining, and later my body got sick, I might have thought, ‘I’m a good person, why am I sick?’ It turns out it was caused by past emotions.”
“Yes, when you have too many negative emotions, you keep absorbing them into your body. The energies inside then generate negative states. Over time, you’ll get sick. That’s why people always say ‘let go, let go,’ meaning let go of this, adjust yourself.”
“Big Brother, is sadness also like this? Is it also bad for the body?”
“Of course. Sometimes holding it in isn’t good. If you want to cry, cry it out. Then tell yourself the matter is over. If this happens again, don’t treat it as a big deal, and you won’t cry anymore. That’s how you get better too. It’s not scary to get in, but it’s scary to not be able to get out. If you can’t get out, you’ll be annoyed. What annoys us is always our own mind; it’s not others bothering you. It’s equivalent to you bullying yourself, so don’t be silly. Let whoever wants to be annoyed be annoyed; we won’t be.
If someone annoys us, we don’t get annoyed; we use them to practice not getting annoyed. If someone makes us angry, we don’t get angry; we use them to practice not getting angry. Hehe. After practicing, even if you want to get angry, it will be intentional, fake. Your heart will be clear like a bright mirror, with no anger at all, and then you’ll intentionally let others see that you’re not easy to bully, hahahaha. Not being controlled by emotions, but counter-controlling emotions, isn’t that fun?”
“Can it really be like this, Big Brother?”
“What can and cannot be done? If I say it can be done, then it can be done. I control myself. Whatever emotion I want, it comes. If I don’t want it, it doesn’t come. If it comes, I’ll deal with it. Cough cough, will disobedience work? I am Big Brother, you must obey me.”
“Big Brother, you make it sound so simple, but it feels so difficult.”
“It’s not difficult. Here’s what you do: First, practice not getting resentful. Deal with each situation as it comes. Do what you can, and put aside what you can’t for later. Even if you must do something and it’s particularly difficult, still don’t get resentful, don’t be troubled, do your best. Once it’s done and over with, you won’t resent it anymore.”
“Big Brother, who should I find to practice this with?”
“At home. For example, if your parents say something you don’t like and you tend to get angry or complain about them scolding you, practice not getting angry or complaining. Be happy and cheerful, and be grateful for their kindness. After a while, you’ll see they’ll start behaving themselves and be too embarrassed to criticize you. Hehehehe.
Also among friends, if a friend makes you unhappy, don’t complain or get angry. Consider how this friend has treated you well before, and see if you can continue the friendship. If not, let it go. Once you let go, you won’t be angry anymore. If you still want to be friends, then why be angry? Haven’t you resolved it?
It’s like my Sister-in-law. When she was at work and someone said her work wasn’t done well, they let her leave early. She was overjoyed. I told her, ‘This is them telling you to rest well,’ wahahahaha.
Or if they don’t let your Sister-in-law work overtime, I’ll take her to the park to feed fish. I say, ‘This is them telling us not to work all the time, to relax when we have the chance.’ What else can they do? Do they think they can use this to blackmail someone? Especially when your Big Brother is around, everything is a good thing. Ohoho~!”
“Big Brother, you have a solution for this too?”
“Damn it, what else do you think? Who gets unhappy working a job? That’s too stupid. Hehehehe.”
