Resentment
RESENTMENT [khon du 'dzin
pa]
What is resentment? It is not letting go of an obsession which
develops through association with the anger which underlies it. Its function
is to be the basis of non-endurance.
-Abhidharmasamuccaya
It is an intention in which one will not let go of the continuous feeling
of resentment and in which one retaliates measure for measure. Its
function, not to tolerate, is easily understood.
Regarding these two mental events, the Ratnamala states,
Indignation is an unsettling event in the mind,
And resentment comes in its wake.
