No.223 - Humility is the antidote to get rid of your ego.


Ajahn Suchart

"Humility is the antidote to get rid of your ego."

 Question from France:  “How to stop my ego?”

Than Ajahn:  “By making yourself a nobody. Don’t think of yourself as somebody. The Buddha said, ‘Think of yourself as the earth.’ The earth can be trampled upon by anybody. Anybody can step on you. Anybody can spit on you. Anybody can urinate on you. Anybody can do anything to you. So, think of yourself as the earth. This is the way to get rid of your ego. To be humble. Humility is the antidote to get rid of your ego.”
