Regard hardships as contributing factors to our betterment. We will not cultivate the mind well without the tests of tribulations. The more adversities we encounter, the more merits and virtues we attain in fulfilling our Buddhist practice.
把吃苦当补药，增上缘。
没有经过痛苦的磨难，就不懂得修心；
逆境越多，成就佛法的功德就越大。
– Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
