Buddha statement about suffering

"The root of suffering is attachment." - Buddha

This statement emphasizes the connection between our desires and our suffering. When we attach ourselves to things, people, or outcomes, we inevitably experience pain when they change or disappear.

Here are some additional Buddha quotes about suffering:

• "Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."
• "The way to end suffering is to end craving."
• "Suffering is not always a bad thing. It can teach us valuable lessons."
• "The only way to escape suffering is to let go of attachment."
• "Happiness is not the absence of suffering; it is the ability to cope with it."

These quotes offer different perspectives on suffering and encourage us to develop a more mindful and accepting approach to life's challenges.
