In the journey of life, suffering often acts as a mysterious guide, leading us through the inner storm.
It teaches us that the sadness in life that seems untouchable is actually a profound teaching.
Imagine a melodious song.
Crossing a meandering river, like an obstacle in our lives that we aspire to cross.
And on the other side of this song, there is a blooming lotus flower, so beautiful that it seems to belong only to that better world.
But these fantastic beauties.
But they are not something we can have, because the meaning of their existence is only for us to appreciate and yearn for.
The Buddha asked us that we wanted to go.
When we answer "the other side," he tells us that the place where we stand is the other side.
It was then that we realized that the ground under our feet and the challenges in front of us were our own creations.
In this sense, we are both the starting point and the end point.
Su Shi once shared.
His method of reading "enemies from all sides" teaches us.
How to face adversity in life.
He advises that when besieged, do not try to fight everyone, but focus on defeating the weakest enemy.
The same is true of life, and we should find it in the pain.
The easiest part to fix and fix it.
In this way, we will find that suffering is actually an option.
When we don't see it as suffering, we can find joy in it.
This ability to find pleasure in suffering is part of our spiritual practice.
We are facing difficulties.
Look up to the higher places, when things are going well.
then bow your head to find deeper roots.
Looking up, we will see that the problem is actually insignificant because our vision has improved.
Looking down, we will cherish what we have at hand, because that is the source of life.
Whether up or down, we will see hope and strength from a new perspective.
Suffering is a revelation that shows us the multifaceted nature of life, stimulates our imagination of the future, and deepens our knowledge of life.
It creates obstacles in front of us and tests our desire to reach our goals.
It allows us to experience challenges through despair, while also inspiring us through the sweet melody of hope.
The Buddha told us that all living beings experience suffering, but at the same time, everyone has the potential to transcend the sea of suffering.
What we seek is not a vessel to cross suffering, but that.
The moment that allows us to look back and see the truth.
All the troubles we experience when we turn around.
When it dissolves like a bubble, we can see the truth of life and understand our own nature and purpose.
We will realize that despite the world's attraction to chase, in reality, we already have everything and nothing is missing.
The distractions of life, as the Buddha said, are illusions made up of our senses and desires.
We chase these illusions and ignore what we already have.
The meaning of suffering is that it prompts us to stop, to look back at our lives, and to realize that we actually lack nothing and that we are born whole.
We need to appreciate the beauty that we cannot have, find strength in adversity, and find opportunities for growth in pain.
We have learned that both good times and bad times are opportunities for us to grow and bridges for us to the other side.
All we need to do is embrace every moment of life and cherish every experience, because it's all part of our life's journey.
