The Boundless Suffering of the Six Realms
The world is vast and desolate, and the sentient beings within it suffer greatly. They drift through the cycle of rebirth, trapped in the six realms of existence without a moment of rest. Seeing this, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas feel a deep sense of for the suffering of these beings. They manifest in this world, one after another, to offer salvation. Though the karmic connections and the methods they employ may differ, their singular heart remains the same: to help all beings leave suffering behind and find true happiness.

Your good roots from past lives have manifested, leading you to dedicate your life to maintaining temples and supporting the monastic community. This is a noble path.
