Suffering: What can be avoided and what cannot

A big part of the Buddhist teachings concerning suffering is the discovery that real life has pain, discomfort, sadness, and other events that we cannot avoid.

How are we to live wisely? This week, Payton examined the fundamental topic of suffering using a talk by Gil Fronsdal.
