“It often happens that no matter how faithfully we perform all the practices on the path of Dharma, we feel like we have achieved nothing. We are so focused on the idea of gain—the goal of enlightenment—that we become discouraged, frustrated, and tired when we begin to realize the difficulty of actually attaining it. To cultivate the patience necessary to eventually realize buddhahood, we must focus instead on compassion for others, while continuing to perform our practices without expectation of immediate results.”
