-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism expounds the principle
of "changing poison into medicine".*
No matter what kind of problems
No matter what kind of problems
or hardships we might be facing now,
every one of them
every one of them
has a profound meaning in our lives.
To be robust and optimistic
To be robust and optimistic
under any circumstances
is proof of being a Buddhist!
