(1) (Thinking:) ‘He acted for my harm,’ one harbors resentment. (2) (Thinking:) ‘He is acting for my harm,’ one harbors resentment. (3) (Thinking:) ‘He will act for my harm,’ one harbors resentment. (4) (Thinking:) ‘He acted for the harm of one pleasing and agreeable to me,’ one harbors resentment. (5) (Thinking:) ‘He is acting for the harm of one pleasing and agreeable to me,’ one harbors resentment. (6) (Thinking:) ‘He will act for the harm of one pleasing and agreeable to me,’ one harbors resentment. (7) (Thinking:) ‘He acted for the benefit of one displeasing and disagreeable to me,’ one harbors resentment. (8) (Thinking:) ‘He is acting for the benefit of one displeasing and disagreeable to me,’ one harbors resentment. (9) (Thinking:) ‘He will act for the benefit of one displeasing and disagreeable to me,’ one harbors resentment. These, bhikkhus, are the nine grounds for resentment."
