Buddhism is not an academic research. It is an ordinary truth that teaches sentient beings how to behave. People are able to accept the truth and willingly accept the truth. We make the truth of life Buddha found submit to sentient beings’ hands authentically, which is actually helpful for them. Our efforts are not made in vain. Or we always speak taking across sentient beings universally, in fact there are no several people to be take across. Even no one is taken across and then we just have compassion in vain. (From Records of Chan By Shi Yongxin)
