2008-11-03 Shoot Me First: Right Intention, Effort & Social Responsibility 1:17:35
Ayya Medhanandi
As we follow the steps of the Eightfold Noble Path, our hatred, greed, and delusion abate. We may yet suffer, but we use our suffering to fathom the meaning of it, see its causes, and see the possibility for ending suffering. The four Noble Truths come alive within. Invariably, our suffering manifests in many forms. It may never ‘end’ but it ceases to be a problem as our fear or aversion to it die. Persevering in this work is the way to make peace with our suffering.

Ajahn Sucitto
(Given on Asalha Puja, commemorating the occasion when the Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths.) A lot of our practice is about squaring up to the first noble truth of suffering rather than wriggling away from it. Mindfulness of body provides a channel to open up to suffering, where it can be experienced in terms of energies rather than thoughts and emotions.
