盲目自大心生骄矜,是骄傲无知的人生;一味自暴自弃,是消极悲观的人生。了解自己比了解别人更困难,喜欢自己比喜欢别人更不易。心中常怀惭愧自重的中道之心,面对挫折会表现得格外坚强。不为外界的诱惑而迷失自我,不为一时的挫折而否定自己,看见自己的不足,也拥抱自己的闪光点。一个不懂得善待自己的人,心中是长不出能温暖别人的花的。先以平等慈心善待自身,才能把这份温柔与慈悲,传递给身边的每一个人。——加措上师 Blind arrogance and conceit lead to a life of pride and ignorance; unbridled self-abandonment leads to a life of negativity and pessimism. It is far harder to know oneself than to know others, and far more difficult to love oneself than to love others. When one holds in one's heart the middle way of humility and self-respect, one will be exceptionally resilient in the face of setbacks. Do not lose yourself to the temptations of the outside world, nor deny yourself because of temporary setbacks. See your shortcomings, and embrace your shining qualities as well. One who cannot be kind to themselves will never grow flowers in their heart that can warm others. Treat yourself first with equal loving-kindness, only then can you pass on this tenderness and compassion to everyone around you.——Respected Teacher Jia Cuo
