Understanding Suffering Through Buddhism
This chapter explores the distinction between pain and suffering from a Buddhist perspective, emphasizing that suffering arises from our emotional responses rather than the pain itself. It discusses the relationship between personal perception, meditation, and the concept of self, particularly in the context of abusive relationships and personal challenges. By reframing our internal responses, the chapter advocates for a transformative approach to alleviating suffering and achieving a clearer understanding of the self.
