The Myriad Benefits of Chanting the Buddha's Name, Reciting Sutras, Keeping Precepts, and Making Offerings

"Invoking Buddhas results in good karma,

reciting sutras results in a good memory;

keeping precepts results in a good rebirth,

and making offerings results in future blessings"

-Master Shengyen

-Bodhidharma, The Bloodstream Sermon, https://terebess.hu/zen/bodhidharma-eng.html#bloodstream

P.S. Also, Bodhidharma: "If you don't see your nature, invoking Buddhas, reciting sutras, making offerings, and keeping precepts are all useless" ;P
