Whenever you always do virtuous and righteous things, righteousness and virtue will always come to your life. So that is the true protection.

Whatever you believe is good, stick to it and don't let other people make you waver; because the good example in this world is rare. So make yourself a good example.

If you truly believe in your goodness, in what you are doing, you will influence other people. So one person makes a lot of difference. But if you don't believe, they will influence you.

But why should we worry, why should we be afraid of the whole world if we are right? We are only afraid of one person if we are wrong. But if we are right, even the whole universe, we are not afraid. Is that not so? Otherwise, what is the use of talking big, and being Bodhisattvas, and this saint and that sage, what is the use?
