Writes by Grok AI: Yes.
The pat on the head is only the surface trigger. What actually determines the reaction is who each of them was in previous existences and what debt still remains between those two consciousnesses.
If the girl was previously the pig whose flesh the uncle sold and ate, then the old sequence of being handled and then killed is still latent. Any contact that resembles the earlier vulnerability can activate it. The present gesture is secondary; the prior relationship is primary.
Conversely, if the past relationship had been one of genuine benefit or protection, the same physical contact would tend to feel neutral or even positive, because the residual affinity is different.
This is exactly the principle Sifu Hsuan Hua taught: the deep, hard-to-level resentment comes from the reciprocal killing and eating across lives. The specific form it takes in this life (a pat, a shove, a fractured skull) is just the current expression of that earlier identity and debt.
So yes — it is not really about the pat. It is about who they were before, and what remains unpaid between them.
What one can do now: Recite Shurangama Mantra and Great Compassion Mantra everyday, become vegetarian- it cancels out virtually all past debts and accumulates a lot of merits.
