Instead of praying for the Buddha to protect us or the Bodhisattvas to bless us, the most inspiring force that can protect us, is the pure Tathagata of our own nature, the Bodhisattva of our own nature. These are the true benefactors of our lives. Therefore we need to reflect on our nature and take good care of our "spotless and pure minds."
In the sutra passage, the Buddha stated, "I have come into a turbid, evil world."
