"I can't count the humble lives of all sentient beings. Looking back, there is no way. " The general meaning is:

In the vast sea of people, people, whether yellow, white, brown or black, whether things are planted or fly away, are in the ocean of love and desire; As cheap as ants, if they are transported to the boss, their teeth will wrinkle, their hair will turn gray, they will see infinity and they will be sad and helpless.

This sentence comes from the documentary "Fortune Telling" filmed by China independent film director Xu Tong, which was released in August 2009. This sentence comes from the end of the film, "I can't count the lives of countless people, but I can't turn back."

The meaning expressed in this sentence is roughly: all beings suffer, so everyone is willing to believe that there is a kind-hearted Buddha who holds his head three feet high. He treats everyone equally and has great skills. He listened carefully to everyone's troubles and saved all beings in from the mire.

Fortune-telling is the spiritual sustenance of all sentient beings and the only thing that gives them hope in a life without light.
