Deep Commentary

The Buddha elaborates on the spiritual journey. Attaining supreme Nirvana is not a path lined only with flowers; it requires navigating many obstacles and pitfalls. When facing these challenges, if we lack patience and endurance, we can easily stumble or give up in despair. However, patience alone is not enough without energetic perseverance. Furthermore, the Buddha emphasizes the practice of meditation. A practitioner must fully cultivate the three essential trainings—moral discipline, concentration, and wisdom—to truly achieve liberation.
