鐵杵磨成繡花針（From blunt iron to fine needle for embroidery）

問： “如何讓自己不要那麽多的情緒？”

師：“情緒是習慣，要去消滅它，慢慢改，如果改不掉，就念佛，持咒，直到’鐵杵磨成繡花針’。“

Translated by 康賽歐

Question: How can I reduce my emotions?"

Master: "Emotions are habits; one must change gradually to eliminate them. If unable to change, pray to Buddha, or chant mantras until ‘A blunt iron rod can be sharpened into a needle for embroidery'.”
