The Buddhadharma contains excellent teachings of the truth. When we practice Buddhism, we should read Buddhist sutras with the energy that we use when reading novels. We should use the time we watch television to chant the Buddha’s name and prostrate to the Buddha. Cultivating that way is sufficient, so how can you still say that you don’t have time to cultivate?

You need to have blessings and wisdom for both self-cultivation and benefiting others. Without blessings and wisdom, you can’t succeed in self-cultivation, let alone benefit others. We mundane people lack both blessings and wisdom, so we must rely on the loving kindness and compassion of the Buddha to bestow us blessings and wisdom so that we can succeed in self-cultivation and benefiting others. That being said, it won’t do if we do not work hard ourselves!

If your financial situation does not allow you to give, you can rejoice and praise others when they do so. Thus you will also obtain the merit of giving.
If you have deeper roots of goodness, blessings, and virtues, you will think, “This is such a good cause! I have no money, but I can encourage my family and friends to give!” Do this with dedicated enthusiasm and you will cultivate great blessings.
