The buddhists say that suffering is wishing for things that cannot be true or we cannot have. To stop suffering all we need do is be in the moment, enjoy the life and breath within us. Also, like in the above posts, that the self (the body) is an illusion. To transcend the body and the thoughts.

But honestly, i do not believe that those masters of enlightenment have endured the kind of pain you or anyone in this thread have. It is one thing for a Master to tell others how to live - quite another to start over, endure a life of abuses - and then transcend the body and mind.

Do only what you can do ((((((( ev )))))))
