| Quote of the moment |
| We have been and are still going through endless suffering without deriving any benefit whatever from it. Now that we have promised to be good-hearted, we should try not to get angry when others insult us. Being patient might not be easy. It requires considerable concentration. But the result we achieve by enduring these difficulties will be sublime. That is something to be happy about! |
