If you know the benefits of making aspirations, who would then be willing to go though such great hardships and to only earn meagre returns? The so-called benefits of making aspirations only means that when you give others a grain of rice, multiply (the returns) by infinity; when you light a lamp, multiply (the returns) by infinity, when you prostate once to Buddha, multiply (the returns) by infinity…, all these are highly profitable affairs that have guaranteed earnings with no losses, who would then be willing to treat making aspirations as unimportant?

如果知道发心的利益,谁还愿意费那么大的辛苦,只赚一点点回报? 所谓发心的利益,就是你布施别人一粒米,乘以无穷大;你点一盖灯,乘以无穷大;你礼佛一拜,乘以无穷大… …,全是这种一本万利,而且稳赚不亏的事情,那谁还愿意不重视发心?
