Steadfastness in Challenging Times

~ By Ajahn Pasanno ~

How can we cultivate the quality of steadfastness so that when we do experience difficulty and adversity, we have a certain stability, clarity and firmness that is easily adaptable to circumstance? Therefore, in times like these we may be particularly accepting of sacrifice, not so much as a burden, but as something sacred, as metta, as loving kindness and generosity to ourselves and to others.
