Understanding the purpose of life and knowing how to live it well will remove our fear for the future and help us to accept life as it comes. Then even should bad times befall us, we will be able to bear the burden with patient understanding. Likewise, if life should be rewarding, we should know how to live with our wealth and joy. For that has been the result of our efforts and the good karmic cause we have collected. (STQ-1996-p53)
