Don't Suffer More Than Needed | Buddhist Philosophy on Pain and Suffering Taoism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/tao/“Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional,” is a Buddhist saying that points to a fundamental truth of existence, which is that pain and affliction are an inherent part of life: we contract illnesses, get wounded, lose our loved ones, our possessions, our social status. But despite the hardships we encounter, the degree of suffering we generate still varies per person. The greatest misfortune hardly affects some people, while the slightest inconvenience leads other people into states of deep agony. Thus, could it be that suffering is something we can manage and doesn’t always have to result from pain?Don't Suffer More Than Needed | Buddhist Philosophy on Pain and SufferingSupport the channel:✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster✔️ Bitcoin: 3HQnEz1LQ4G6dqN2LdZgzc7qoJjJCyWjTC(Donated BTC and want in the credits?
