Buddhism Is for the Strong-Minded

Thanks to the Buddha-Dharma-Sangha,there is Buddhismfor those strong-minded people. That's technical jargonfor those who are commonly calledstubborn people. These people are attracted to Buddhism,and Buddhism has the unique power to keep themand shield them from problemsthey could have gotten themselves intoif they did not find Buddhism. Buddhism is such a challenging pursuitthat it wears down these stubborn peopleonce they embark on the Way.By and by, their stubbornness wears thin,and they begin to look like a jewel. In point of fact, if you look back at their historythat jewel was indeed covered with a thick layer of stubbornness dirt.~ Desmond Chiong
