Dharma Practitioner

In general, by the term “dharma practitioner” we mean a person who is able to handle all kinds of circumstances, both good and bad,
one who can take even the worst experiences as catalysts to help further progress in his or her practice.
The circumstances in which we find ourselves should actually clarify our practice, our experiences, and our realization, and we should be able to understand all situations , both favorable and unfavorable, as teachings on the path.
from The Wish Fulfilling Jewel by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
