Without suffering you would never practice. Pain is a blessing.

Pain:
Pain happens one moment at a time.
It can only happen that way.
Understanding this, even “unendurable” pain can be endured.
Pain is a blessing.
It is when you experience pain that you turn toward spiritual practice.
My friends, without suffering you would never practice.
Pain is a blessing.

-Kyabgon Phakchok Rinpoche
