Enduring hardship is a process of eliminating karmic obstacles. Those who can accept reality understand how to change reality. For a Buddhist practitioner, suffering is only temporary. For a non-practitioner, suffering will be long-lasting.
一个人要懂得吃苦是消业， 一个能够接受现实的人， 是一个懂得改变现实的人。我们修行人吃苦是暂时的，而不修行人吃的苦将是永远的。
