Only those who cross the river by themselves can cross the river. If people don't cross the river by themselves, the sky can't be protected. It means that if people can't save themselves, even if someone helps them, the sky can't protect them.

Crossing is to lead people from the troubled shore to the clean shore; Self-crossing is to let yourself get rid of troubles with the help of wisdom. If you want to cross people, you must cross yourself first. In other words, in reality, people realize their wishes through their own cultivation and do not depend on the divine power of Buddha.

The more people face difficulties, the more they seek change. If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will pass. The world is changing, everything is changing, and people around us are changing. We should also "adapt to all changes" and help those who help themselves. We must grit our teeth, preserve our fighting spirit and increase our wisdom in order to tide over the difficulties. Only if you don't give up hope will others have a chance to help him and opportunities will favor him.
