On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him. -Buddha
We often complain about our lives and how hard they are. One of the lessons in this short quote is – lead a good, pure life, and the way is not so hard.
If life is hard, then it is growing pains. The person is moving away from faith and being good and kind and industrious. When we move off the path of doing things that are right, we grow and stretch our learning, and we hurt our selves and others along the way. There are not any shortcuts. It is life.
