Respect the goodness in everyone

Bodhisattva Never Disparaging was a monk who lived a long time ago before Gautama Buddha. However, his preaching and predictions were disregarded by the common people since he wasn’t well-versed with the scriptures. They even beat him with sticks and pelted him with stones. Despite facing hardships and difficulties, the bodhisattva revered everyone until the day he died. As a merit, before he breathed his last, he heard the verses of the Lotus Sutra from the sky which are believed to have purified his six senses. This bodhisattva was none other than the Buddha himself in one of his previous lives.
