The Differences Between Pain and Suffering
The most intense experience of this I've had is in meditation, where you're in some really cold environment and then you try to pay such close attention to the experience that the pain and suffering start to separate. You can actually be very acutely aware of this intense cold feeling and have glimmering moments of not actually suffering during it. Personally, I'm not super advanced and I'm able to get that experience for like fleeting seconds. Sometimes I'll have fleeting seconds where I'm like, oh yeah, I'm actually not suffering right now,. which is really cool experience, but I can't do anything like sustain it for a long time.
