Because we are able to view our difficulties from the Buddha’s perspective, we can be grateful for the difficulties in our lives. We can benefit from facing difficulties as a good opportunity to improve ourselves. Thus, we endeavor to practice harder. The Lotus Sutra fundamentally leads people to think positively and make the most of their circumstances, or encourages people to try their best efforts to do so. Making the most of negative circumstances becomes a very positive way of living. This is the way of the Lotus Sutra.
