About This Quote

It is said that without suffering there cannot be happiness. Life is the result of the nature of things, and this nature has its own nature of suffering. If we want to have a happy life, we have to accept this fact and do not run away from it. The Buddha taught that our happiness does not depend on circumstances, but on how we respond to them.

When we suffer, we should never forget that this is a part of life and should not lose hope. Instead, we should learn to eradicate our suffering by developing our wisdom and compassion through meditation and other means.
