“Complacency has no place in Buddhism. Continuous efforts are required to fully polish our lives so that we can manifest our inherent Buddha. We should not be lulled into accepting our life, as it is no matter if it is good or not so good. We can always improve ourselves. Polishing away the rough edges, working on the things in us that seem to pop up when faced with certain situations. Changing our response to things in our environment, which cause us suffering.”
