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?...

Bothi

in cases of terminal pain, the mind "lets it go" by accepting it, by not resisting it, by letting go of the craving for the pain to be otherwise, by reflecting upon it with wisdom that sickness & death are inevitable, by understanding physical pain is of the body & of the nervous system and not "mine".

suffering is suffering. If Buddha has had distinquished this suffering dividing into two groups, thenn I would buy it...

Buddha did distinguish suffering into two groups. but buying it will not help. one must practise to learn how to let go of physical pain

kind regards

Buddha said:

When an untaught worldling is touched by a painful (bodily) feeling, he worries and grieves, he laments, beats his breast, weeps and is distraught. He thus experiences two kinds of feelings, a bodily and a mental feeling. It is as if a man were pierced by a dart and, following the first piercing, he is hit by a second dart. So that person will experience feelings caused by two darts. It is similar with an untaught worldling: when touched by a painful (bodily) feeling, he worries and grieves, he laments, beats his breast, weeps and is distraught. So he experiences two kinds of feeling: a bodily and a mental feeling.

But in the case of a well-taught noble disciple, O monks, when he is touched by a painful feeling, he will not worry nor grieve and lament, he will not beat his breast and weep, nor will he be distraught. It is one kind of feeling he experiences, a bodily one, but not a mental feeling. It is as if a man were pierced by a dart, but was not hit by a second dart following the first one. So this person experiences feelings caused by a single dart only. It is similar with a well-taught noble disciple: when touched by a painful feeling, he will no worry nor grieve and lament, he will not beat his breast and weep, nor will he be distraught. He experiences one single feeling, a bodily one.
