吉噶康楚仁波切：唯一的要素，就是必須以智慧作自我反思
"If someone provokes you and you get offended, and you are about to retaliate and say something hurtful, you can pause and stop yourself if you have done some analysis on the emptiness of the self, and have even a doubt that things are not completely as they appear. If you have examined the existence of self, you might conclude that the Buddha’s teachings are right: that there is no self, and maybe you are just grasping to a self rather than a self truly being there.
在你因別人挑釁而感覺自己受到冒犯，即將作出反擊、說出傷害對方的言語時，若你曾分析過自我的空性，甚而懷疑事物是否與其所顯現的樣子完全相同，便能夠停下來，制止自己。若你曾檢視過自我的存在，或許可推斷出佛陀教法的正確性：自我並不存在，你可能只是執取有「我」，但那個「我」卻非真實存在。
You may conclude that the self is a projection, lokshé, something not found upon analysis. Just the smallest doubt in your habitual way of grasping to the self and questioning that the self does not exist makes it much easier to let go and can prevent a volatile situation from deteriorating further. It can make it easier to stop yourself from reacting with violence and aggression. It can make you instead choose to act with goodness toward the world at large. It only requires you to self-reflect with intelligence. It requires a bit of a pause. That pause is necessary. This pause keeps you from going with your usual habitual reactivity."
你可能推斷出自我是一種投射、一種錯誤的認知（藏文：lokshé，顛倒見），一種經過分析而無法尋獲的事物。只要對慣於執取自我的習性抱有最細微的懷疑，並質疑自我是否不存在，都能使我們更容易放下，進而避免那千鈞一髮的情況繼續惡化。如此，就更容易阻止自己以暴力和攻擊的方式來反應，轉而選擇以良善的行動來對待廣大的世界。這當中唯一的要素，就是必須以智慧作自我反思。也需要停頓一下，而這種停頓是必要的。它能防止你隨著自己平常的習慣而作出反應。
