尔时，天帝释白法慧菩萨言：
“佛子！假使有人以一切乐具，供养东方阿僧祇世界所有众生，经于一劫，然后教令净持五戒；南、西、北方，四维、上、下，亦复如是。

- Flower Adornment Sutra - The Initial Resolve Bodhicitta-samutpada's Merits Chapter 17
尔时，天帝释白法慧菩萨言：
“佛子！菩萨初发菩提之心，所得功德，其量几何？”
At that time the Indra asked Dharma Wisdom Bodhisattva:
Buddha's disciple! For Initial Resolve Bodhicitta-samutpada, what is the quantum of Merits?
法慧菩萨言：
“此义甚深，难说、难知、难分别、难信解、难证、难行、难通达、难思惟、难度量、难趣入。
虽然，我当承佛威神之力而为汝说。
“此义甚深，难说、难知、难分别、难信解、难证、难行、难通达、难思惟、难度量、难趣入。
虽然，我当承佛威神之力而为汝说。
Dharma Wisdom Bodhisattva said:
This definition is real deep or profound,
difficult to express, to know, to differentiate, to believe & explain, to affirm, to execute, to reach, to ponder, to measure, to penetrate.
Though I rely on Buddha's supreme divine strength to explain to you.
佛子！于汝意云何，此人功德宁为多不？”
Buddha's disciple!
If there be someone who uses all musical instruments in dedicated offering to all beings of eastern asaṃkhyāta (Sanskrit: असंख्येय) world, after one kalpa,
then teaches solely to uphold the five precepts;
applying the same in the south, west, north, the four directions, top and below.
Buddha's disciple!
How to express your opinion, is this person's merits alot?
天帝言：“佛子！此人功德，唯佛能知，其余一切无能量者。”
Indra said: Buddha's disciple!
This person's merits only Buddha can know, all remaining beings without quantum or ability won't know.

中国老师斥之为：“胸无大志，孺子不可教也！”
Chinese teacher rebuffed as : Chest without ambition, this youth is not Teachable!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hahaha!
Youth is use in the context of One who has newly enrolled or joined a school to learn!
It applies to ALL that are learning Cultivation of Buddha Dharma, like Tantrayana!
Dear all,
What will you do when you are on a ship that is on fire and sinking?
Hahaha!
Run for your life in the fastest option opened to you!
However, to [Buddha's disciples], compassion & patience should be practice?
Is there a limit to this patience & compassion?
YES!
Signs of continued lack of "drive" to learn and execute for the betterment of Self and all beings!
These Signs are visible to the Discerning Eye, and their presence all due to High Karmic negatives levels that the Individual just didn't or not willing to resolve with various dharma paths taught and offered!
This article resulted from a meditation session and visions of Destructive beings that surfaced! :)
In recent speeches by GM Lu, the Reincarnation routes for beings with different characteristics matching the "Entry Criteria" of each of the 6-realms of transmigration!
In fact, I shared some in various articles in this blog already!
Need I say more?
What truly happened to these beings that took refuge with GM Lu and their Initial Vows at Refuge?
Buddha & Mara as One or Buddha & Mara parted by a line? :)
佛魔一如 或 佛魔隔一线 ？
