He just had a spectacular night. Still, you might be impressed by the numbers I've rattled off. Remember, though, that Ch'an Buddhism has been around for centuries, and thousands upon thousands of people have devoted their lives to practice. I don't think you believe this. Everyone derives benefit from practice, to one degree or another.
Many people believe that the whole purpose of practice is to achieve enlightenment.
Such people would like everyone else to help them in their practice and lend their support. After enlightenment, they will gladly return the favor. This is not the way to develop compassion or follow the first of the Four Great Vows. Such people can even change from being initially loving kind to becoming more and more selfish. Insisting that others cater to them instead of offering their help to others.
