How Buddha Explained Suffering — Why Life Hurts

In this video, we explore one of the deepest teachings of the Buddha —
the truth about suffering, why life hurts, and how awareness brings freedom

Buddha taught that suffering does not come from the world outside
but from the clinging, resistance, and confusion within the mind
Suffering grows when we hold too tightly
Suffering grows when we fear change
Suffering dissolves when we begin to see clearly

This teaching gently guides us through:

• What suffering truly means
• Why life feels heavy and painful
• How craving and resistance create inner struggle
• How the mind adds stories to pain
• How awareness softens suffering
• How acceptance brings peace
• How wisdom leads to freedom from within

If you have been carrying heaviness, pain, or confusion,
this teaching will help you understand your mind
and walk with more clarity, softness, and strength

May this teaching ease your burden
and bring light to your path
