How are you?

Hi, Gene.

"Birth, aging, disease & death."..is how Buddha defined this entire tangled ball of suffering we call samsara. Understanding and acceptance of this teaching seems to help.

Another way I have heard this put is: "Pain" is mandatory, but suffering is optional.

Hang in there, Buddy.

Good day everyone,

Life has been quite intense for me the past four months and I am reflecting on what Ron shared about the Buddha's teachings about suffering.

Kind Regards,

Gene
