In its multifaceted forms, suffering is an inherent part of the human experience. From emotional turmoil to physical pain, the specter of suffering looms large in our lives, prompting us to delve deeper into its roots. What lies at the core of this universal human condition? What is the fundamental cause of suffering that permeates our existence? Buddhist teachings, encapsulated in the concept of 'dukkha,' emphasize the inherent unsatisfactoriness of existence. They highlight how our attachment to desires and the illusion of permanence fuels our suffering. The pursuit of fleeting pleasures and the resistance to inevitable changes become the catalysts for our distress.
