- Suffering
- The Cause of Suffering
- The Cessation of Suffering
- The Path of the cessation of Suffering
Suffering: We all suffer personally, socially, and mentally. Not getting what we desire is suffering.
The Cause of Suffering: When you have greed and crave, there will be suffering. If you don’t accept the situation as is, there will be suffering.
The Cessation of Suffering: Accept what it is and stop craving.
We didn’t discuss the path of the cessation of Suffering.
