Buddha brought compassion and wisdom into the world

According to Buddha the gereral purpose of life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it. For this task, a person needs in-sight vision.

This scene was painted for the Robert Louis Stevenson book Treasure Island, specifically for the chapter titled ‘The last of the Blind Man.’ In the scene from the book, a shot rang out, scaring off the pirates. Louis writes “…the buccaneers turned at once and ran, separating in every direction, one seaward along the cove, one slant across the hill, and so on, so that in half a minute not a sign of them remained but Pew
Him they had deserted, whether in sheer panic or out of revenge for his ill words and blows I know not; but there he remained behind, tapping up and down the road in a frenzy, and groping and calling for his comrades.”
“Treasure Island,” published in 1911 and illustrated by N. C. Wyeth.

This book series continued on a nearly one-a-year basis through the 1930s. Perhaps Wyeth illustrated the largest number of books – 16 – more than any other artist.
Also The blind leading the blind, painting by Pieter Bruegel, an idiom and a metaphor in the form of a parallel phrase, it is used to describe a situation where a person who knows nothing - don't see by his own soul.
is an another idiom - it is used to describe a situation where a person who knows nothing is getting advice and help from another person.

Karma

Medan man levde i medeltida inkarnation - var jag en av tempelriddaren i Sverige någonstans i Götaland (och i Småland) -  lovade jag leva i fattigdom. 
Tänker jag att den eden fortfarande fungerar.
Detta förklarar många saker i det här livet.
Men ... hur blev man riddare?
En avgörande skillnad mellan riddare och andra ryttarkrigare var att de som skulle bli riddare, som bli nybörjade, först var tvungna att bli dubbade till ridderskapet av mestaren. 
I det fullt utvecklade riddarväsendet från 1100-talet och framåt kunde detta ske först efter flera års upplärning, till en början som page och därefter som väpnare.

Why?

China’s Sky Eye
In September 2020, Sky Eye, which is located in China’s southwestern Guizhou province and has a diameter of 500 meters (1,640 feet), officially launched a search for extraterrestrial life. 
"The team detected two sets of suspicious signals in 2020 while processing data collected in 2019, and found another suspicious signal in 2022 from observation data of exoplanet targets,"
  Zhang Tonjie, chief scientist of an extraterrestrial civilization search team co-founded by Beijing Normal University - has said according to the Bloomberg.
China’s Sky Eye is extremely sensitive in the low-frequency radio band and plays a critical role in the search for alien civilizations.
China said its giant Sky Eye telescope may have picked up signs of alien civilizations, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which then appeared to have deleted the report and posts about the discovery.
The narrow-band electromagnetic signals detected by Sky Eye -- the world’s largest radio telescope -- differ from previous ones captured and the team is further investigating them, the report said, the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of California.

It isn’t clear why this report was removed from the website of the Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of China’s science and technology ministry; though the news had already started trending on social network Weibo and was picked up by other media outlets, including state-run ones.
