Many people go to temples to burn incense, and they all want to get the protection of the Bodhisattva, but they don’t know that not everyone can get protection. Bodhisattvas will only protect those kind people. If they are evil people, even burn incense is useless.

Some people may never go to temples or burn incense in their entire lives, but they will also be protected, while some people may not be protected by burning incense every day. How to determine whether it is protected? You can see if these three signs appear on yourself. If you have them, it means you are being protected.

1. Deeply believe in cause and effect.

Some people believe in cause and effect, while others do not believe in it. Whether a person believes in cause and effect determines what kind of destiny it will have. In fact, what can really protect you is not others, but your own thoughts and behaviors. What kind of behaviors you have will have, what kind of situations you have.

In the past, there was a man who was very devout to the Bodhisattva. Once he went to sea and accidentally fell into the water. He prayed for help. Suddenly a log floated over, and he ignored it. At this time, a boatman suddenly passed by and wanted to save him on the boat, but he refused because he firmly believed that the Bodhisattva would definitely come to save him.

But he never came ashore again. When he lost his life, he saw it in his sleep. He complained, "Why don't you come to save me? I am so devout to you."

Buddha said to him, "I have saved you twice. The first time I turned into a log and the second time I turned into a boatman, but you rejected me." After hearing this, the man regretted and suddenly realized that he was by our side, not far away in the sky.

When you believe in cause and effect, you have actually received his protection. When you are dedicated to goodness, this is actually his guidance to you.

2. Peace and health.

In fact, health and peace are the greatest blessings in life. Not everyone has the opportunity to live safely. Don’t think that getting rich is luck. The greatest luck in this world can make you live healthy. Even if you are poor and tiring, as long as you are safe, healthy, and happy, this is the greatest blessing.

If you are safe and healthy at this moment, it means you are protected and lucky. You must learn to cherish the present and be grateful, and learn to be content. Only by being content can you be happy.

3. Kind heart.

If you are a kind-hearted person, it means you are also the lucky child chosen by God. In fact, not everyone has the opportunity to become a kind person. Only those who are protected have this opportunity.

When you suddenly find that your heart is getting kinder, it means that you have been protected. Never think that wealth, power, or status are blessings. In fact, the greatest blessing in life has nothing to do with material things, but your kindness, compassion, wisdom, peace and joy.
