我們吹牛皮，吹得起嘛？😂
我們吹自己是初果。但還沒羞恥地破五戒，心還不時覺得‘自我’存在。 以為別人傻的嗎？以為不會露餡嗎？
我們吹自己是三果，我們確保自己不會生氣嗎？ 誰可以那麼大口氣？
我們確保自己的心不會黏著於影像、聲音、氣味、味道、觸感嗎？
我們確保自己不會起淫欲嗎？
很容易便露餡的！
我們吹自己是阿羅漢。心還會覺得自己重要嗎？ 會覺得自己別人好、和人平等、比人差嗎？確保心自此不會散亂？
我們越吹得大，就越容易露餡。
為什麼？ 有時煩惱微細到連我們自己都看不到，我們將不能控制自己然後把它們表露出來
真金不怕爐火燒
假金燒一燒就露出破綻了
所以如果我們真的要吹，還是努力修，修到自己做真金再吹吧！
但如果是真金，應該不會吹水😂
Can We Really Brag? 😂
We boast about being Sotāpannas (Stream-Enterers), yet we still shamelessly break the Five Precepts, and our minds still cling to the sense of "self." from time to time. Do we think others are fools? Do we think we won’t get exposed?
We boast about being Anāgāmins (Non-Returners)—but can we truly say we never get angry? Who dares make such a bold claim?
Can we guarantee our minds won’t cling to sights, sounds, smells, tastes, or touches forever?
Can we swear we’ll never feel lust?
It’s so easy to slip up!
We boast about being Arahants—but does our mind still feel self-importance? Do we still see ourselves as better, equal, or worse than others? Can we ensure our minds will never be restless again?
The bigger we boast, the easier we get exposed.
Why? Because some defilements are so subtle that even we don’t notice them—yet they’ll still leak out uncontrollably.
Real gold fears no fire.
Fake gold cracks under the slightest heat.
So if we really want to brag, we should practice diligently until we become real gold—then we can talk.
But if we were truly golden… we probably wouldn’t brag at all. 😂
