Life is suffering
Sep 13th 2007anzababeHappiness & Insights & Questions
I’ve heard this priciple a lot from my dahn yoga studies, it’s the one that is the hardest for me to grasp: the other 2 are, life is transient and life is nothingness (mu-hwa). The last 2, I pretty much accept on a regular basis, not that I don’t have any problems, but I accept it more. But the first one is so hard for me. I think deep down, i still cannot accept suffering…I want people to be happy, peaceful and comfortable. I want to be comfortable more than anything. But I suppose, there is a basic suffering in the fact that we are human, but we have souls and it is hard to access our soul at all times…kind of like a caged bird. Anyone have insights on how I can better accept that Life is suffering?
