Only by Conquering Oneself Can One Conquer Everything

Anyone who has achieved success is a person of very strict self-discipline. Whether in worldly matters or in the Buddha's Dharma, only through self-discipline can one succeed and transcend oneself. The accomplishment of selflessness surpasses everything and can bring success to all endeavors. Conversely, a person with a sense of self is petty and calculating everywhere, small-minded, tolerant of themselves but intolerant of others, and it is very difficult for them to accomplish anything. As long as everyone works selflessly and selflessly for Buddhism with an undivided heart, the merit they gain is considerable, and from this merit will come very great wisdom and liberation. Those who do not participate in spreading the Dharma simply cannot compare. 

It is perfectly fine for everyone to struggle against their own selfishness; there is absolutely no problem in struggling against their own greed; it is perfectly fine to struggle against their own hatred; there is absolutely no problem in struggling against their own jealousy; it is perfectly fine to struggle against their own mind of gossip and disputes over self and others; there is absolutely no problem in struggling against their own craving for power and profit. In short, struggling against oneself, fighting oneself, is completely fine. Just do not fight against others, do not contend with others. When matters of fame and profit arise, you can steer clear of them—do not stick your head out, do not scramble, snatch, seize, or steal, and do not harm the interests of others. Only take on responsibilities; do not fight for rights and privileges.
