“As for us, we are now in the process of cultivating spiritual accumulations. Sometimes we may face many obstacles in life. But no matter how great those challenges are, we continue to train ourselves and endure with patience.
When we are born as human beings, we've already received this precious and rare human body. Having this good fortune, we should not be discouraged by anything. As long as we still have breath and a healthy body, we must keep striving in life.
Life is difficult and the Buddha taught that life itself is suffering. Studying, learning and striving to obtain the basic necessities, all of it involves suffering. Nothing comes easily. But that's OK, we endure it.
With patience who will eventually get through these challenges. So don't lose heart or fall into despair in your life. We must keep fighting. It may be that in this life we were born to cultivate spiritual perfections, to endure, to train our minds and hearts, to become steady and wholesome, and to truly see the value of this life we've been given.”
