[Buddha-l] Means of ego inflation

[Piya Tan]

How many Buddhas does it take to burst an ego?

None. There is really no ego, only the fear that we have none.

If we think we have an ego, I think we should make it really by till it bursts.

Nothing is more pathetic than having a big ego but trying to keep it
small. It is like remaining stuck behind the comfort of the fully
inflated airbag after you car has smashed into a lamppost or wall.
