Thank you for dropping by and sharing y...Hi Karen,<br /><br />Thank you for dropping by and sharing your valuable view.<br /><br />I believe the statement of “Life is suffering” is just a general or common statement shared by all beings. In fact, we must analyse and understand the actual meaning of “suffering”! Different people may have different views, it is good for us to go back to the original text of the holy scripture to clarify the doubts.<br /><br />I do agree that through personally experiencing what suffering is, our compassion will arise. <br /><br />We must acknowledge that there is suffering in this world ( This is a fact, no need for us to think.). However, we must see and understand thing in totality and in its true sense. We must always remember that all the things that arise in this world are impermanent or changing all the time! If we were to attach to things that are impermanent, we are bound to meet disappointment as the thing we have been attached to may not be the same again after a certain period of time. As a results of this, suffering arises! Well, where does all the suffering come from? It comes from our “expectation” or “want”! Where does all our “expectation” and “want” come from? It arises from our MIND! <br />Sathirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421582593493838700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368355044279029151.post-33147600069000927362009-06-25T22:16:07.591+08:002009-06-25T22:16:07.591+08:00Hi,that's something new to me because as a bud...Hi,that's something new to me because as a buddhist, we have been taught about the concept of suffering. The 1st is life is suffering and then taught that there are ways to end sufferings,etc.<br /><br />And a common sayings of asking one to put ourself into other's shoe and that has made us "imagine" that the other is suffering and we should then be compassion,etc.<br /><br />Confuse now...should we not even think about life is suffering in the first place? and not always think that the others is suffering or feeling bad about doing something nasty?<br /><br />KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
