trid 6 Hello Aloka and fellow group members. When I read this question I immediately asked myself this question. Is SUFFERING different and are the reasons people suffer different in the modern word different? Buddha repeatedly stated that he only taught one thing and that was how to end suffering . He also was quite clear that any thing that agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all you are required to accept it and live up to it. To me the truth of this dharma is ageless and is just as relevent today.
