227 Arhat Prajñāpradīpa (Lamp of Wisdom)
What comes easily is easily lost; what comes hard is hard to lose. Therefore, Guan Gong, cutting through generals and passing five gates, though enduring many difficulties, his peerless divine might has lasted for eternity.
For those who receive this verse, things are not going smoothly, and a sense of difficulty has arisen. One should know that there is no absolutely smooth sailing in the world; twists and turns are inevitable. But it is also precisely because of enduring hardships that the gains become even richer, and one will cherish what they have obtained even more.
