M: Slowly and through the practice of the Quan Yin Method. If we practice this Quan Yin Method, it means we are in touch with God's power and only God's power can help us in any way. God's power will give us everything we need, give us tolerance, give us unselfishness, and give us wisdom and love. We're selfish because we don't have enough love. We're craving for love. We feel that no one loves us--not enough, so we have to hurry up and love ourselves more. We think we have to make up for ourselves in this way. That's all. We practice this Method, and we are in the presence of God. We feel we are loved and we are loved by our Master, by our fellow practitioners, by God, then we just feel very secure. And we don't need any more selfishness. It will leave us automatically, naturally. It may not be in one day, but shortly.

Selfishness is a form of love, of loving ourselves. At least you love yourself. You must learn from there. If we know how to love ourselves, later we will know how to love others. If we do not know how to take care of ourselves, if we can't learn how to be comfortable, how to make ourselves comfortable, how will we know how to offer the same kind of love to others? So this is only a kind of lesson that is very useful later, when our love expands from self to others.
