To help us get rid of our false sense of pride, ego and arrogance, the Master will keep pointing out our shortcomings until we eventually let go of our inflated egos, pretentious self-esteem and the ‘self’ that we have been clinging to. Many people have lost their physical lives, along with their spiritual lives, for the sake of their pride.
师父天天讲你们，就是要把你们的虚伪面子拿光，自尊、自负，全部消掉，讲到你没有自我，没有虚伪的自尊，讲到你无我相，无我了，就不讲了。多少人为了面子失掉了生命，并失掉了自己的慧命。
