The Sūtra of Forty-two Chapters also says: The Buddha said, "In the world there are five difficult things: it is difficult to practice giving (dāna) when poor; it is difficult to study the Path when noble and rich; it is difficult to control life so as not to die; it is difficult to obtain sight of the Buddhist scriptures; and it is difficult to be born encountering the era of a Buddha."
