You may not realize the benefits of studying Buddhism and gaining knowledge of its teachings, and may even think, “I have not received any response!” However, it is fortunate that the Buddha and bodhisattvas have the virtue of forbearance. If they did not have this virtue, they might think, “You are truly heartless! I have been kind to you, but you still think that I have not been kind to you.”
This is like a blind person who cannot see the sun, but the sun still shines on them constantly. It is important to have faith and to make greatvows. It is widely known that there are many benefits to reciting the Buddha’s name.
