While watching "Thirty-three Tsubaki", I remembered chatting with a layman a long time ago. He said that the Buddha Dharma is boundless, and even if the Buddha moved his finger, all kinds of troubles in the world would disappear, and the whole world would be equal and peaceful. So I asked him if that was the case, why couldn't the Buddha with great wisdom and great powers move his finger? He said to me the four words "karma wheel" in a meaningful way. These four words relate to the most fundamental world view of Buddhism, that is, the cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution of good and evil. Therefore, believers are required to "do no evil, and pursue all good", concentrate on cultivating Buddhahood, and go through hardships before paying off their karmic debts. Get out of the sea of misery as soon as possible.

Sanjûrô Tsubaki: He was just like me. A drawn sword that wouldn't stay in its sheath. But, you know, the lady was right. The best sword is kept in its sheath. You'd better stay in yours.
