How to remove
the ego-arrogance?
How to remove the
ego-arrogance? It is easy to know, but it is hard to do. The way is non-ego,
without the ego. The arrogance is caused by ego. Removing the ego is naturally
eliminating the arrogance.
How to be without ego? All
of the matters, phenomenon, appearances, sound, success, achievement, gain or
lose, and things in outside and inside, are viewed as the emptiness-picture. If
all things in outside and inside are emptiness-picture, what could we compare
to? There is nothing which could be compared. If there is nothing to be
compared, how could it be possible for us to think that we are more importance
or superiority than other people? We then understand that there is no reason to
cause the arrogance.
Without ego-arrogance, we
would be more empathy to the all sentient beings.
Without ego-arrogance, we
would be more empathy to the all sentient beings and could listen to any
criticism, suggestion, opinions into our mind. We then could treat people more
respectfully and equally. Meanwhile, we would be more willing to share any
self-advantage based on the equal stance and absolutely would not dare to bully
others.
You might have read a lot
of news, stories or novels about the tragic end caused by ego-arrogance. And
you might have ever encountered any one of the ego-arrogant in your life. Do
you have ever thought how to get along with them? Complaining and anger is not
a good ideal. To empathy them is a good way.
May we have removed the
ego-arrogance someday and have the empathy for those persons who are suffering
the pain caused by ego-arrogance.
