很多時候我們都在修行、也試著培養一切善心，但有時這些善心、善行卻會變成好像成為了討好別人的方式，為什麼要有善心？因為討好別人時，別人會高興，因此也對我好。或有時做了一點好事但別人不感到讚嘆時，又感到傷心，結果自己的善心、善行的修持，成為一種炫耀，或變成討好他人的方式。我覺得這樣是不對的。
We should remember that when we do good things, ultimately, we are doing them for our own benefit. Some people feel the need to advertise their virtues to others and may feel disappointed if others refuse to accept that they actually have them.

真正的修持時，應當是像是小孩畫畫一樣，小孩畫畫時，不會心中想說要畫給別人看，而是心中想了什麼，就將它表現出來。我們的修持也應如此，重要是自己的善，是否能給予自己喜樂，而不是為了他人 。
We should be like children, who, not considering the tastes of the adult world, draw from their own sense of things. In the same way, our own practice is a reflection of our own needs and so forth; it is not designed to be presented directly to others.
