Introduction
All hardship and misfortune, anxieties and troubles are adversities and also are big furnaces that rigorously train the aspired ones.
1.	In American history, one of the greatest female figures was Helen Keller (1880-1968), who conquered the three defects of blindness, deafness and dumbness with insurmountable perseverance. She wrote, "It is a blessing if a person can become blind and deaf for a few days in early adult life. Darkness can enable him to treasure brightness even more, and silence can enable him to deeply realise the preciousness of sound."
2.	Master Hongyi, an eminent monk of his generation said, "I just wish that I had failed in my career. With failure and dissatisfaction, I would then often have felt great shame, moreover I could acknowledge my own lack of merits, and the insufficient practice of benevolence. Only then, will this make me work even harder and use my best efforts to make corrections towards kindness." This gives us such a profound inspiration!
3.	One Buddhist Monk said, "Sentient beings consider Bodhi as worries, Bodhisattvas consider worries as Bodhi."
4.	The Great Tantric Translator (Lotsawa)( remark: a Tibetan word used as a title to refer to the native Tibetan translators, such as Vairotsana, Rinchen Zangpo, Marpa Lotsawa and others, who worked alongside Indian scholars to translate Buddhist texts into Tibetan from Sanskrit) Master Marpa, who intended to vigorously train his disciple Milarepa, had submitted Milarepa to all sorts of torture and inhumane treatment and finally made the Honourable Milarepa become the greatest Buddhist teacher in Tibet.
5.	In the past Buddha Sakyamuni was repeatedly abused and slandered by 'Devadatta'.  However, in recollection of his teaching, the Buddha said," My thirty-two physical characteristics and eighty types of wonderful merits are all achievements derived from this kind benevolent scholar ‘Devadatta’”.
Main Speech
－	We need to know that the Buddhas of the past, present and future all regard the Eight Sufferings as the eight masters. In order to succeed on the supreme path, one must regard 'suffering' ('Dukkha') as the fundamental aspect of achieving Buddhahood.
	(The Eight Sufferings: suffering of birth, suffering of old age, suffering of sickness, suffering of death, suffering of separating from loved ones, suffering of blame and hatred(suffering of associating with those we dislike), suffering of failure from request(suffering due to unfulfilled wishes and desires), suffering from the blazing Five Aggregates.
－	Many worthy monks of the past would often draw support from adversities when experiencing extraordinary torture; they would painfully intensify their practice, strongly stabilise their self-discipline, practise great patience and great diligence to cultivate towards enlightenment.
－	The circumstances of adversity have a spur on effect for the “courageous one”.  It is the momentum for encouragement and dynamic motivation, it is the assisted link-to our enlightenment, and it is the positive force against adversity as we advance along the Way of Truth.
Endnote
－	A Buddhist disciple asked the Buddha:  "Who should go to hell?"
	The Buddha replied, “I go to hell. Not only do I go to hell, but I often live in hell; not only do I often live there, I am always happy in hell; not only am I happy, I am also solemn in hell."
－	How majestic is this ideal, how deeply vast and wonderful is this merciful wish!  Going to hell is such a painful matter, when compared with the insignificant tests we have encountered, the little adversity, how can they even be mentioned.
