	Mililani Hongwanji Honolulu Hi info@meditation		Mililani Hongwanji is a Jodo Shinshu (Pureland) Buddhist Temple in Mililani 96789.Po-Lin Buddhist Ass'n of Hawaii Chinese Contact: Rev. Chu-Wai "Our normal reaction to such a statement is, “What me? I don’t have an ego.” This is exactly why we need Buddhism, because we cannot see the workings of our ego and how it causes us so many problems in life. Just as we cannot see our physical self, like our own face, without the help of a mirror, Buddhism teaches us that our ego self is impossible for us to see ourselves. Buddhism is a teaching that shows us our ego self, and then shows us the path to being liberated from the workings of that ego." "We might think, “Well, sometimes I have an ego, but not most of the time. And certainly not as much as so and so.” When we begin to talk about ego, right away someone comes to mind: our boss, or mother-in-law, our teenage son or daughter, our neighbor that we dislike, but not ourselves. This too is a reflection of how hard it is to see our ego." A Brief Introduction to Buddhism, Buddhist Churches of America (Shin Buddhist organization of temples on the U.S. Mainland)
