Ever since, whenever he feels his temper rising, he thinks about the smiling image of the Goddess of Mercy. "If I carve Buddhas but can't dispel my own greed, anger and foolishness, and don't cultivate myself so that I can treat others benevolently, then how can I expect the Buddhas I've carved to change people's minds?"
短短幾個字，有如當頭棒喝，讓他對自己易怒的心性感到慚愧。此後每當火冒三丈時，就想著觀音菩薩的慈藹笑容：「自己雕佛，如果不能放下貪瞋癡、發自內心地善待眾生，那雕塑出來的佛像又如何能感動人心呢？」
