Dharma Wisdom
Adverse conditions can also be used as a way of increasing our compassion for others. When we encounter problems we should think of the countless beings who are experiencing suffering of every kind, often much more severe than our own, and in this way generate a wish for others to be free from their suffering. This wish is compassion.
An excerpt from the book “Universal Compassion” by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

"The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful we shall be free from worries and mental discomfort, and we shall experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful we shall find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we shall experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we shall be happy all of the time, even in the most difficult circumstances." - Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
