hello bill and bbb

thanks bill for this clarification. the psychotherapist that interviewed the dalai lama writing about the concept of happiness in buddhism states that the dalai lama seems to be one of the happiest and harmonious persons he ever met.

accepting suffering as a part of life doesn't encompass masochism. from my perspective i don't see how one can liberate oneself from suffering if one cannot accept it? that looks like denial to me.

i cannot in words describe the hellish experiences i 've had in life and i don't have the energy and wish to anymore, but i have to accept that it took place. i don't want to suffer but you cannot liberate yourself from suffering trying to avoid the pain that is already there.

you don't overcome or avoid suffering, you transcend it.
