During my Dec trip to Taipei, we also visited Dharma Drum Mountain.
There was a wish fulfilling Guan Yin, and I seeked for guidance with regards to my spiritual path (towards enlightenment).
And the advice gained:
从自我肯定，自我提升， 到自我消融，
是从‘自我’到 ‘无我’的三个修行阶段。
Hm, not too sure how to interpret this, but I suppose the key to it is the aspect of non-self.
It is truly hard to abandon the ego, and to minimise or reduce it when it arises.
To reduce the self-cherishing attitude and live for the welfare and benefit of all sentient beings.
It all goes against the ingrained concept of our identity, of us as a human being.
It just goes to show how heavy/strong our delusions are.
无我
