We must put down firm roots; we must be strong. Inner strength is a prerequisite for happiness, a prerequisite for upholding meaning and one’s values. One of the Buddha’s titles is “He Who Can Forbear.” is about courageously enduring, to persevere and overcome all difficulties – Buddhism is the ultimate embodiment of the virtue of forbearance. The power of faith in our knowledge and actions gives us the strength to weather and survive any storm. Perseverance is the essence of a Buddha.
