But Buddha said: I prepared everything for those who will understand me. And I saved all the people who were possible to save. And I prepared to save all people when the time comes. So, if one of his disciples understands him, it’s good enough. There is the possibility of saving all human beings if one of his disciples understands him. In this way, Buddhism has spread, one by one, little by little.
