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.

Make a big resolve. A big heart is the mind of a Buddha. How big should it be? It should be boundless. When you chant the name of the Buddha with a big heart, the resulting meritorious virtues will not only greatly benefit you, but also all other sentient beings.

In cherishing blessings, not only should we avoid wasting resources, but we should also earnestly practice giving; if we neglect to practice giving, we are not cherishing our blessings. We are being stingy.

The more we understand, from a scientific point of view, we know that we cannot count all the worlds. How many Buddhas and sentient being are there in the vastness of the universe? Modern science has no way of knowing.
