  “What shall I do to love my neighbor?”
  “Stop hating yourself.”
  The disciple pondered those words long and seriously and came back to say, “But I love myself too much, for I am selfish and self-centered. How do I get rid of that?”
  “Be friendly to yourself and yourself will be contented and it will set you free to love your neighbor.”
  
  “我要怎样才能做到爱护我的邻居呢?”
  “不要讨厌你自己。”
  弟子将这句话很认真地琢磨了很久后,回头问道:“可是我很爱自己呀,我既自私又自我。要如何才能改掉呢?”
  “对自己友善一点,你自己心满意足了,就可以尽情地爱护你的邻居了。”
