Intolerance Towards Suffering | May 9, 2014
The subtle suffering in our lives may
seem unimportant. But if we attend to the small ways that we suffer, we
create a context of greater ease, peace, and responsibility, which can
make it easier to deal with the bigger difficulties when they arise.
Being intolerant of suffering, in the Buddhist sense, does not mean that
we reject it or fight against it. It means that we stop and look at it,
not morbidly, but with faith in the possibility of living a joyful and
peaceful life.
—Gil Fronsdal, “Living Two Traditions”
