Those who endure ten years of suffering in the human realm to eliminate their negative karma are only ten feet away from heaven.
Those who indulge themselves in sensual pleasures for ten years are only ten feet away from hell.
在人间吃苦消业十年， 离天上就只有十尺之遥; 在人间享乐挥霍十年， 离地狱就只有十尺之遥。
Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 4
