Good News

 

Buddhism starts with the bad news. 

If there weren´t problems that 

Buddhism dealt with, it wouldn´t exist 

or be at all necessary.

 

¨Life is suffering.¨ It´s extremely good 

news to know this truth. If we live in 

the delusion there´s a brass ring or pot 

of gold we just have to get to for our 

lives to be fulfilled, we waste them in

fruitless ambition activities.

 

Life is not only suffering, to be sure. 

There is love, joy, brilliance; a myriad 

of wonderful qualities. But, if Buddhism 

didn´t point our obsessions to begin 

with,  there would be no place to start 

dismantling our made up, false 

narratives.

 

The truth that life is suffering and not 

all that enduring might inspire and 

encourage us to get busy finding out 

what life is really all about and why 

we have a problem with it.
