This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.
Well, no matter how much you think about reason, meaning, or value, there is no answer that can be said substantively by deciding “this is it.”
Anyway, everything depends on causality (cause and condition).
Desired results and good results will also depend on cause and effect.
In the “Sacred Inari Sutra,” the Buddha explained, “He who sees good fortune sees the law. It deals with questions and answers between Miroku Bosatsu and Lord Sarifutsu about the true meaning of “those who see the Dharma”.

It doesn't matter little by little, so I hope you listen to the pope's puja too. I'm sure there's something to be gained.
Anyway, don't overdo it or feel too bothered about studying Buddhism. It's important not to just give up.
Each one comes from what we can do.
