SN 35.101 The pain, say a kidney pain, or a cancer patient's pain, or any other physical pain, lets assume that is not mine, how one will let it go?

When you defend your faith, it should be logical...

Dear Element is now trying to cover the truth by stating following; buddhism points out our suffering is contained in certain modes of thinking (rather than in painful feeling) Above both statements belong to the same person. But each is contardictory to the other!

Dear Element, suffering is suffering. This includes all the sufferings. Then Buddha was not right. If Buddha has had distinquished this suffering deviding into two groups, thenn I would buy it...

With metta,
