"The cessation of suffering is possible. This is good news because there is suffering and there is a way out."
-Thich Nhat Hanh, the heart of the Buddha's teaching

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
Some people hear the Buddha's teachings, and in the Four Noble Truths we start with the noble truth of suffering. The Buddha's being very honest and. Very blunt, very direct. He goes right to the heart of things. There is suffering. We don't start with denial, we start with acknowledgement, but some people seem to stop there and think that's what the Buddha's talking about. He's just talking about suffering, but that's only half of the story. Really what the Buddha is telling us is there is suffering, yes, but we are in charge of our life, and there is an end that we can put to suffering. This is called Nirvana or enlightenment or liberation. It's in our hands. This is wonderful good news. We can do this. And there is a path that is laid out that tells us and shows us exactly how we can free ourselves from suffering. This is extraordinary and we should all take heart at this.
