There is a donkey in the temple. I feel troubled every day. Pulling the mill is a bit useless for him.
Finally, someone took him down the mountain and came back with a Buddha statue. Along the way, people saw the Buddha statues bowing to him. The donkey didn't understand it at first, but later he gradually became proud and thought that everyone was worshiping it.
Back in the temple, it felt like it was a big man, and it shouldn't have done those rough work, so it became more and more lazy and was driven down the mountain.
Walking down the street, people saw it whip him with a whip, and it became increasingly confused.
But don’t people admire me very much? When I saw me, I knelt down to greet me and worship me. Why are you hitting me with a whip now?
Master said to him, "You are not what people worship, it's just the Buddha statue you carry on your back."
This donkey finally learned the truth in his sorrow.
I can’t understand myself clearly, my positioning is unclear, and I don’t understand my level and ability. He is arrogant and mistakenly regards the platform as his ability.
One day when I was alone, I found that I was nothing after leaving the platform.
Self-knowledge is important.
The same is true for the fox to pretend to be a tiger.
Relying on other people's abilities or halos to show off oneself, always feeling that it is stupid to be so powerful and capable.
Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise.
