Dispel all pretenses and smile
In a composed and tranquil manner
Be respectful, wholesome, and sincere
As if the Buddha were standing before you.
Under all circumstances, we should look upon all people as if we are facing the Buddha. We should look upon all Buddhas as if we are seeing all people.
That way we will always respect and revere everyone with the purest and most wholesome mind.
The single most important aim in practicing Buddhism is to eliminate the fallacy of self. We should first understand that a "true self" does not exist; there is only a "conditioned self"- this entity that we call "self" is only a temporary conditional existence.
