Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Working for samsara has no end. It goes on and on without end, continuously, and then it results only in continuously suffering.
Working for future lives’ happiness is one-time work. Attaining the path to liberation is a one-time achievement. Once we’ve achieved that, we are forever in the state of the liberation, the total cessation of suffering and its causes.
Since the cause of delusion, the negative imprints, have been removed, there is no cause for delusion to arise so there’s no cause for suffering to arise. Because Dharma practice to achieve liberation is onetime work, it’s most worthwhile to bear any hardship to accomplish this.
