The Principal Cause Of Suffering Is Craving.

Due To Our Feelings Arising From Contact, We Think And We Rationalize, Conceptualize, Theorize, Philosophize And Speculate. Because Of The Feeling Arising From The Six Senses, We Increase Our Desire; We Come To Wrong Views And Wrong Beliefs. We Recall Our Past Sights, Smells, Sounds, Tastes, Touches And Ideas And Build Up More Desires, Thoughts, Concepts, Beliefs, Ideas, Theories And Philosophies.

Deeply Buried In The Mind, There Lies A Mechanism That Accepts What The Mind Experiences As Beautiful And Pleasant And Rejects Those Experiences That Are Perceived As Ugly And Painful. This Mechanism Gives Rise To Those States Of Mind That We Are Training Ourselves To Avoid-- Things Like Greed, Lust, Hatred, Aversion, And Jealousy.

You Can't Ever Get Everything You Want. It Is Impossible. Luckily, There Is Another Option: You Can Learn To Control Your Mind, To Step Outside Of The Endless Cycle Of Desire And Aversion.

Pain Is Inevitable, Suffering Is Not.

When You Have Learned Compassion For Yourself, Compassion For Others Is Automatic.
