旁觀者清，當局者迷
Lookers-on see most of the game.
I once played a game on remembering music tones, the computer play the tones once and we key it in. At first it was very easy, but when it get to later stage, I start to realise I can easily remember the tones when the other person is keying it in but when it comes to my turn I can’t. I tried it many times and it’s still the same, it helps by just telling myself I’m just observing… it’s very interesting how the mind works!
俗語說當局者迷，旁觀者清，自己往往看不出自己的毛病的。我們看看人家，有些人一天到晚煩惱，有些人修養有素，一天到晚自由自在，內心平安高興，又有些人從前脾氣很大，學佛以後變得和和氣氣的，使人羨慕，這才是學佛的好處呢！ 摘錄自《佛教要義》
久熏的人聽了，縱然不能受，也不驚不怖。略舉旁人的一兩樣事，作個比喻聽聽：愚癡眾生就像燈似的，照遠不照近，見得到別人的壞處，就見不到自己的不好。常說當局者迷，旁觀者清，只能照人家，很少照自己。摘錄自《慈舟大師網路專輯—開示語錄》

I like this post because I can understand the Chinese. But I am not sure if the 比喻 in English is quite the same…Either way, I think I am starting to understand why you blog the contents you do now
I agree the one in English is not quite there… why this always happen in translation, I get some or most of it, but you always lose something, but it’s better than no English translation
. I’m very happy that you see why I post the contents I do
