"So you should train yourself. Even though I may be afflicted in body, my mind will be unafflicted. That's how you should train yourself."
-The Buddha, in the Samyutta Nikaya.

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
Interesting quote from the Buddha. So he's giving very practical advice here about how to, as he says, train your mind, how to train yourself so, even though I may be afflicted in body, I may be diseased, I may be hurt in some way, something doesn't work properly or at all in my body. Even though those things are happening, the mind is not the body. The Buddha is clearly telling us and reminding us here your body can be afflicted. It doesn't mean your mind is afflicted. It's the identification with the body that causes the mind mental suffering. So the Buddha says this is how we should train ourselves.
