智慧法语

南无观世音菩萨

我们知道好面子就是一种强烈的自尊心，总是想保护自己。这种人你不能讲他，如果要说只能讲他好的，讲他不喜欢听的话，或说他不对的地方，他会受不了。所以好面子的人，要修行就很难有所成就，因为他有这个执着在。

We all knew self reputation (face) is a strong sense of self esteem, and will tend to self protect oneself for that. You can’t criticise this type person as they don’t accept criticism. You only can let him/her know the best side of them but not the other way. Thus, people who overly care about their self reputation will have difficulties to succeed in their cultivation if they persist in self reputation.

如果想真心修行，就要把自己比作最为低下，别人都是菩萨，自己是凡夫，千万不能把自己比的高高在上，以为自己什么都行，什么都好，什么都对，什么都比别人好，这样的话，你就完蛋了。

If you are sincere in your cultivation,  you must compare yourself to the lowest level. Others are Bodhisattvas and you are a common man. Do not put yourself at the highest level, thinking you are good in everything, you are the best, and better than anyone else. In this case, you are done.
