Many of us mistakenly believe suffering is caused by external circumstances, such as othersâ actions or bad situations. However, an exploration into fundamental suffering reveals that our suffering is rooted in internal experiences, primarily from aversion and dissatisfaction. The article discusses how correcting this perspective helps alleviate suffering by recognizing that it originates from within ourselves. By understanding this personal responsibility regarding our pain, we can begin to embrace suffering as an opportunity for personal growth and understanding instead of merely viewing it as a burden.
The deeply ingrained belief that suffering stems from external circumstances hinders our ability to see that true causes of suffering lie within our perceptions and reactions.
Understanding that our experiences of pain are often driven by our own ego can help us shift our perspective and recognize the overlapping experiences that generate fundamental suffering.
