Question

Explain in one paragraph how a Buddhist would address the problems caused by suffering.

Answer 1

We create attachments to events causing us problems. When we are driving down the road and someone cuts us off we are so frustrated shouting things at them. We are upset although we are choosing to be upset despite nothing really happening and most times you won’t have a good day because they cut you off and you’re upset. We essentially cause ourselves suffering although there is no need for it. Because we create attachments to situations we create our own suffering.
