Success:
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Friends, the lazy person dwells in misery,
soiled by evil detrimental states.
Great is the personal advantage, whichone thereby neglects. But the energetic & enthusiastic person lives happily,
secluded from evil detrimental states, and great is the personal advantage, that one thereby wins. It is not by the inferior, that the supreme is attained. Rather, it is only by truly supreme effort, that the supreme state is attained. Friends, this Noble Life is a sublime juice!
Therefore, friends, while this Teaching is present arouse your energy for the attainment of the yet unattained, for the achievement of the yet unachieved,for the realization of the yet unrealized... Considering your own future, friends, isenough motivation to make every effort for reaching this goal; considering the good future of others, is enough motivation to do your best; considering the best of both, is far enough inspiration to strive for the supreme goal with diligentthoroughness!
Thus enthusiastically, friends, should you train yourselves!
