In everyone’s case, you need blessings. That’s the limiting factor—you can only go as high as your blessings allow you to go.
We need to accrue blessings first. The more blessings you have, the more you make the right choices. Wherever you are, you still need more blessings to go further. We never have enough blessings.
My teacher, Great Master XuanHua, creates blessings all day. He works and works and works. You work, you work, you work. The more advanced and skilled you become, the more you put your skills to work. The meaning of life is to do something important with your life. What kind of work? Helping others—not just helping yourself. Ordinary people learn and train to help themselves. In our Mahayana system, we train to help others. That is the purpose of life.
