Adverse circumstances test our courage, our strength of mind, and the depth of our conviction in the Dharma. There is nothing exceptional about practicing Dharma in a good environment and atmosphere. The true test is if we can maintain our practice in adverse conditions.-Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey, "Advice From a Spiritual Friend"
James: This is why practicing on a regular basis and when things are good is so important to us. If we cultivate a regular practice then we can sail across the waters of adversity with confidence knowing that our sturdy boat of practicing the Dharma will hold us up and see us through to the shore.
-Peace to all beings-
