The mind as and origin
Do not be overwhelmed with suffering. Keep your mind at peace in order to maintain equilibrium. The mind is the source of life energy, willpower, wisdom and accumulated merit energy. These are required to confront all crises and mishaps that arise as a result of our past demerits and mistakes.
Since we cannot change the past or undo our mistakes, the only way to make amends with the irreparable past is to make more merits. There is no other way. Only merits can counter the demerits - this is the principle.
