00:00Pain is unavoidable. Pain is the very fact of life.
00:04The question is, what is it that you suffer the pain for?
00:08And believe me, there is nobody who doesn't have to suffer.
00:11I don't have to convince you. You know that very well, right?
00:14Look around yourself. What do you see?
00:16If you look honestly and deeply enough, you will see a lot of suffering.
00:20Suffering is. Suffer for the right cause. That's the best you can do.
00:24The solution to suffering is not a state of no suffering.
00:27The solution to suffering is right suffering.
00:29And to complete the story, I would say, if you suffer rightly,
00:33then slowly your tendency to suffer keeps reducing.
00:38And probably, potentially, one day you can come to a point where you don't suffer.
