Illness is a means for us to develop a strong and compassionate self

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

Buddhism views illness as an opportunity to attain a higher, nobler state of life.  It teaches that, instead of agonizing over a serious disease, or despairing of ever overcoming it, we should use illness as a means to build a strong, compassionate self, which in turn will make it possible for us to be truly victorious.
