Jing Si Aphorism - Inspirational Wisdom by Dharma Master Cheng Yen

To be humble
is shrink our ego
until we are small enough
to enter another's eyes
and reside in
their heart and mind.

***

To regard ourself lightly
is prajna(wisdom).
To regard our self highly
is attachment.

***

People who are
preoccupied
with past achievements
cannot humble themselves.

***

We start to slacken
the minute we find excuses
for our self.

***

To shoulder a burden
is an inspiring force.
To admit a mistake
is a noble virtue.
