Suffering also has its worth

Posted by in Bodhicharya-Avatara, Shantideva, Suffering
Suffering also has its worth Suffering also has its worth. Through sorrow, pride is driven out And pity felt for those who wander in samsara; Evil is avoided, goodness seems delightful. ~ Quote by Shantideva, from the Bodhicharyavatara
