Heavy rain moistens rootless grass, and the Tao is only wider than the people who are destined.

The original text is "the rain is too heavy, nourishing rootless grass, and the road is only wide enough for people."

This sentence comes from Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism.

No matter how heavy the rain in the sky, it can't moisten the grass without roots, because the grass absorbs water through the roots, and the grass without roots can't moisten even if it is soaked in water. No matter how broad and boundless the Buddhism is, it can only be dedicated to those who have a relationship with the Buddha. Grass without roots, like a careless person, can't be influenced by Buddhism even if it is boundless and has no roots of wisdom. It can be said that no matter how much help the outside world gives, it takes one's own efforts to achieve great things.

Hope to adopt, thank you!
