Teaching #17: The Crux of Penetrating Dukkha
A deep understanding of suffering empowers you to see the cause of your suffering, and once you understand the cause of suffering you can free yourself from it in both small and large ways.
Chapter 5, Pg. 53
For your reflection: Notice if you are stuck in viewing suffering only in negative terms. Are you treating dukkha as dismal thinking? Remind yourself that it is your awareness of suffering that brings you the wisdom to cease fooling yourself that lasting happiness can be found in places where there is no chance for it.
