(5) Whenever resentment arises because of someone,

whatever action that person has performed, one should remember:

“They are responsible for their own actions,

A successor to their actions,

They originate from their actions,

Their actions are their true kin,

Their actions are their refuge,

And whether their actions are skillful or neglectful,

They will inherit [their fruits].”

By doing so, resentment is allayed.
