Buddhist Stories: The Girl Born with a White Silk Cloth, Part 3 of 3 Aug. 28, 2015

One person is not unimportant. Because one person, even if the Buddha sows affinity with one person only, but that person, life after life has wife, children, relatives and friends, and then if that person becomes liberated in the far, far, far future, when the Buddha becomes Buddha, then many of five, six, seven, nine generations will also be liberated. And then it affects his friends, whoever is around him, and his five, six, seven, nine generations also affect other people around. So that’s a lot of people as well. That is the thing. And if this one person becomes Arhat, for example, then he can also save many other people. And then many of those many people can also affect, save many other people. And that many, many other people also influence many, many other people. It’s just like a drop of oil, it slowly will spread out. It’s like that. So one person is not unimportant. It’s truly like that.
