Comment:
In view of the profoundness of sufferings and the frequency of calamities in the world, some practitioner would raise the thought of giving up or regress. In light of the great Bodhi mind, gatherings of sufferings should be the causal conditions for a Dharma practitioner to make even more strenuous efforts. Endless salvation is to guide beings from within transmigration to liberation from sufferings, but not to escape from the world for personal immunity.
