[Buddha-l] Means of ego inflation

[[DPD CDT] Shen Shi'an]

When anyone considers oneself a 'serious scholar' or a 'serious
meditator/ practitioner', chances are that s/he has taken his/her 'self'
too seriously. And the irony is that such seriousness based on self
impedes true advancement in one's work and practice. The self is always
in the way till it's realised to be illusory.

My casual observation: both "practice" and "studies" seems to work well
as means for ego inflation. I have met both "serious
meditators/practitioners"
as well as Buddhist scholars who have very big egos and think the world
of themselves.
