Two Kinds of Suffering | March 10, 2014
The Buddha taught that there are two
kinds of suffering: that which comes from the outside world, and that
which comes from within you. With the latter, only you can do anything
about it. Where does that suffering come from? Emptiness. Examining the
thoughts and feelings that arise from emptiness is one tenet of
Buddhism. Why do we suffer? What is at the root? Where did it begin?
When we see the answers to those questions, our suffering, which has
arisen from emptiness, returns to emptiness.
—Ittetsu Nemoto, “The Counselor”
