About This Quote

A mind that tastes the grief obtains a good chance to travel to the Land of Wisdom! A mind that tastes the grief is one that has experienced great suffering. A mind that tastes the grief can then be used to access the wisdom that comes from suffering. The wisdom comes in the form of personal strength, not in what is learned through the suffering. As the Great Teacher Lao Tzu said, "A mind which experiences great suffering but does not break will become like an unshattered mirror; its light will shine brightly."
