我们总是习惯拿着尺子去丈量别人,却很少回过头来,用同样的标准量一量自己。我们轻易就能指出别人身上的一点瑕疵,却对自己内心的污垢视而不见。很多时候,我们明明知道自己错了,却不愿意承认,反而找出各种各样的借口来为自己辩解,让自己心安理得地一错再错。只有当我们愿意摘下保护自己的面具,坦诚地直面自己的缺点、习气和烦恼,一点一点地修正它们,转化它们,我们才能真正地向正确的方向前行。——加措上师 We have always been accustomed to measuring others with a ruler, yet rarely turn back to measure ourselves by the same standard. We can easily point out the slightest flaw in others, but turn a blind eye to the dirt in our own hearts. Most of the time, we clearly know we are wrong, yet refuse to admit it; instead, we come up with all kinds of excuses to justify ourselves, allowing ourselves to make the same mistakes over and over again with a clear conscience. Only when we are willing to take off the masks that protect us, honestly face our own shortcomings, ingrained habits and troubles, and correct and transform them little by little, can we truly move forward in the right direction.——Respected Teacher Jia Cuo
