"There are gods outside the thirty-third heaven, and gods outside the ninth heaven. The gods are all cultivated by mortals. I'm afraid that mortals' hearts are not strong." What does it mean?

Meaning: There are thirty-three worlds outside our world, where there are immortals. Immortals can also be cultivated by mortals. As long as the heart of cultivating immortals is firm, they can be achieved.

Beyond the thirty-three heavens, there are gods and goddesses beyond the nine heavens:

Gods have long lifespans, many blessings, and great merits. They are our ideal masters. But where are these gods and goddesses that we often envy? Beyond Cloud Nine? Or in the sky beyond? In fact, the gods are just virtuous people with noble personalities;

These many gods from beyond the sky did not become immortals for no reason. There is no natural Maitreya or natural Sakyamuni in the world. Maitreya Bodhisattva also has to go through many lives and kalpas of practice. The reason why Sakyamuni Buddha became a Buddha was not just through six years of asceticism, but after three great eons of suffering, one step at a time, and thousands of kalpas and thousands of responses, he became a Buddha.

Gods and immortals are all cultivated by mortals. I am afraid that mortals’ hearts are not firm:

All living beings have Buddha nature, and all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are cultivated by mortals. Buddhas are enlightened people, and people are unenlightened Buddhas. Therefore, the difference between Buddha and humans is that one has awakened and the other has not; one has completed himself and the other has not yet completed himself.

So, gods are also cultivated by mortals. Our ideal gods can help relieve suffering in the world and give happiness and peace to the world, so they can become saints and sages. The problem is that if we mortals are not firm-minded, often follow the changes of realms, lose faith in practice, cannot persist in the idea of ??becoming a Buddha, cannot endure hundreds of hardships and thousands of worries, then the worship of saints and sages will be just a mirage in life!
