改不了命的原因，除了因果業障以外，就是自我與任性了。
徒弟問師父，師父，您頭上爲何不見毛髪？師父回曰，這叫着絕頂聰明。這位徒弟就再問其師父，那我是否也應該仿效師父呢！其師父回曰，這叫自做聰明。
哈......！這當然是則笑話，但這笑話是有其寓意，有其禪機也。稍加的思考，必定能增長妳你智慧。
當我們失敗，或受到挫折時，應認眞仔細的回想失敗及受挫的原因，跟着重新規劃，重新再來。面子根本就不值錢，面子也根本對成功，或其它事情毫無挂鈎呀！
自我是自取滅亡，自取耻辱，自我傷害，自我摧殘，自設障碍。
任性是蒙上自己的眼睛，任妳你的習性，任妳你的感覺，任妳你所謂的第六或第七感，帶着妳你走錯路子，跌入山崖，跌入谷底。
吾，玳瑚師父，也曾經自我過。慶辛的是，吾的自我意識裡，有着一個修字。因此，吾從吾深意識裡，将毫無意義的自我，修出吾本性的智慧，來破除吾眼前的障碍，也幫助及恊助她他們，找回失去的她他們，讓她他們有眞正的立足之地。

Apart from karmic obstacles, the reason why we cannot transform our Destiny is due to our self-centredness and capriciousness.
A disciple asked his Master, “Master, why are your hair missing from your head?”
The Master replied, “That’s called extremely intelligent.”
The disciple asked his Master again, “Then should I imitate you?”
The Master replied, “That would be making a smart alec out of yourself.”
Ha...! This is of course just a joke, but there is a moral in the joke and a zen allegory in it too. If you make some effort to ponder over it, you will definitely increase your wisdom.
When we fail or meet with a setback, we should seriously contemplate in detail the reasons for our failures and setbacks. And then recalibrate and start afresh. Our “face” (ego) is absolutely worthless. In fact, our “face” has no bearing on success and other matters as well!
To be self-centred is to invite self-destruction, self-humiliation, self-harm, self-ruin and set up obstacles for yourself.
To be capricious is like placing a blindfold over your eyes, and allowing your habits, your feelings and your so-called sixth sense or seventh sense to lead you down the wrong way, and then free-fall over the cliff, landing at the bottom of the trough.
I, Master Dai Hu, has been self-centred before. Fortunately, the word “修” (spiritual cultivation) lies deep in my consciousness.
Therefore, to break through the obstacles in front of my eyes, I would reach deep into my consciousness and cultivate the wisdom of my inherent nature from this worthless self-centredness.
I would then help and assist these people I see to regain the selves that they lost and truly gain a foothold in their lives.
