In our daily life, we tend to avoid difficulty and suffering. Shakyamuni Buddha did not let us avoid this; rather he taught us various methods to face up with them. The best method to train our mind is to realise emptiness, then we will become so strong that we’ll not be affected by external factors. After that, we need to think: despite the fact I’m courageous now, so many sentient beings have no understanding of the principle of emptiness, and their mind is not trained, thus I need to benefit them.
