My 班长 shared this in class again:
《入行论》说:
若事尚可为,云何不欢喜?
若已不济事,忧恼有何益?
My translation as I understand it:
《A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life》says:
If there is a remedy,then what is the use of unhappiness ?
If there is no remedy,then what is the use of frustration?
This quote encapsulates for me the profound but grounded nature of Buddhist teaching.
Just remembering these 4 lines of text and I feel prepared to meet the challenges of the day!
