  When you make really big mistakes in life, or something happens that you will regret, how do you react? I've been studying some texts based on Pure Land Shin, that describes events that meet this criteria are actually beneficial to you. In other words, it's the old axiom of, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. This is an interesting way to look at things, especially if you have a life that is full of regrets. If you turn these regrets and mistakes into something good and beneficial, how can you lose?
