To let go of the self is to clear a mind that is filled with discrimination, sense of right and wrong, gain and loss, and attachment.
Letting go is a manifestation of magnanimity, a kind of thorough enlightenment; it reveals our true nature. Only when we let go can we attain true liberation.
放下自己，就是去除心中的分别心、
是非心、得失心、执着心。
放下是一种大度，
是一种彻悟，是一种本性，
唯有放下才能得到真正的解脱。
