Serving others is how one builds respect-worthiness, blessings, and affinity with people. These qualities can only be acquired through serving sentient beings.

A life without blessings is really miserable. If you want to relieve your suffering and gain some blessings, you must first learn to give. Giving is also necessary to build positive affinity with other beings.

The Venerable Abbot’s Blessings on Buddha’s Happy Day

The Venerable Abbot's Blessings on Buddha's Happy Day

From the timeless traditions of the auspicious
seventh lunar month, we know,
That among the four kinds of gratitude, the one towards one's parents is foremost.
Maudgalyayana once asked for guidance, and the
Buddha compassionately revealed,
The method for delivering his mother from the
endless suffering endured since time immemorial.
Ultimately, the salvation came from the power of the Sangha members assembled,
Along with the prouidence of those with the Three Disciplines and No Outflows.
With these words, I urge the Buddhists of the Ten Directions,
To protect the proper Dharma so it can be shared with all future generations.
