When Bad Things Happen To Good People 2 - Three Causes Of Suffering Gods Will Free Will Evil by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality

Day 2: Forms, Causes and Reactions to SufferingSuffering comes in many forms and there is so much suffering where we feel we have no control. However, there are causes of suffering in which we do have some control. For example, the way we respond to our suffering can easily cause us additional pain. If we are able to effectively process our pain and work through the natural responses of anger, denial, withdrawal, etc. then we have the opportunity to reduce the level of suffering we experience.

In this recording, Nalanie quotes from the Yoga Sutras of Sri Patanjali and explains the five 'Kleshas' - the causes of suffering and what holds us back on our spiritual journey.  Principal amongst these is ignorance.  This is the cause of the other four Kleshas: Egoism, attachment, aversion and clinging to bodily life.  Nalanie also talks about the different phases of becoming a 'Yogi' including non-attachment and understanding the spirit.  Recorded at Radiant Yoga, Marbella, Spain on 29th July 2021.

Patricia Rush, M.D., M.B.A. is an internal medicine physician whose scientific focus is complex chronic illness.  Her over 40-year career has focused on working with underserved populations and promoting universal access to high-quality medical care. She spent 20 years in the Cook County (Illinois) Health System, including six years as director of their emergency department. From 2000-2008 ran a trauma-informed solo private medical practice in Chicago. During this time, she completed in-depth interviews with more than 500 patients, which led her to identify a group of high-risk individuals with serious illnesses who also had a consistent pattern of extreme stress at a young age, including profoundly disordered sleep and emotional distress. Until her retirement, Dr. Rush was also an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago and now teaches neurodevelopment as a member of the Physician Workgroup of the Child Trauma Academy. She was a co-founder and serves as a co-director of the Center for the Collaborative Study of Trauma, Health Equity, and Neurobiology, or THEN, in Chicago. The nonprofit works at the intersection of science education and social justice, exploring and communicating the links between early emotional trauma, inequality, human development, and chronic illness to a network of professionals and the public. In this interview, she discusses a new and more integrated way to understand and treat physical and mental ailments in people of all ages that has important implications for how we raise our children.

This recording is a satsang on the 5 Kleshas or 5 Types of Suffering with Swami Sitaramananda.  This teaching is taken from Patanjali Maharishi's Raja Yoga Sutras writted thousands of years ago.  It is commented on in the Meditation & Mantas by Swami Vishnudevananda. The 5 types of suffering come from Ignorance, Egoism, attraction, aversion, and fear of death.  The only solution to this is Yoga which alleviates our suffering.  Sometimes we think "I am the only one suffering" - but in fact everyone is suffering.  The ancient sages knew this reason of why we suffer and give us specific yoga practices to help.  

In this episode we discuss the 3 main types of suffering as well as the 3 primary causes of suffering. We all discuss how to put things into perspective and avoid the negative thinking that often plagues our lives. Join us in our next episode where we will cover the 8 fold path design to help us eliminate suffering from our lives.

The first noble truth describes how life has suffering running through it and in the second truth Buddha gave some of the reasons for this suffering. There is not just one cause of our suffering, as there is not one cause of anything. Things come into being through a series of causes and conditions, and that is the same for our suffering. However, there are three main things that cause us emotional and psychological suffering, namely, the three poisons. They are clinging desire, anger and aversion and unawareness.

Dependent Origination maps the causal links that give rise to any experience. To relieve suffering, we need to see the subtle, hidden causes, and relax them rather than blame ourselves. This is the core of the Buddha’s teaching.This episode with Doug Kraft was recorded at a retreat given at the Auburn Mercy Center in November 2015.

This month, Simply Meditation explores the first teaching after Buddha's Enlightenment - The Four Noble Truths. The second of these is "There is a cause suffering." These causes including grasping, aversion and delusion. In our attempt to hold on to pleasant sensation, push away unpleasant sensation and wanting or imagining things to be as other than they are, we suffer. This talk includes an excerpt from Mark Manson's excellent, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. The concluding meditation gives the mind a job, gently labeling whatever arises and then letting it go as the next formation of the mind arrives. This series is based on Jack Kornfield's wonderful audio program, Meditation For Beginners.

“It’s not what happens to you but how you interpret and what you make things mean that causes you suffering.”  Episode Summary: In life we all go through challenging moments and difficult situations that cause pain; the death of a loved one or the end of a relationship can be painful and unavoidable. Suffering, however, is an optional experience. Listen to this episode to learn about 5 causes of suffering and how to overcome them. Some Questions I Ask What are the stories that you are making up about yourself and those around you? What is the impact of these stories in your life? What roles and personas did you develop as a way of getting love and validation? Is who you are who you really are or simply who you’ve been conditioned to be? What are you resisting in your life and how is that creating suffering? Are you stuck in the past? Where is your attention right now?  In This Episode You Will Learn How your perception of reality can be a source of suffering. The importance of having your attention in the present moment. How the media can help reinforce your past conditioning. Why struggle can be an addiction. How being of service can help you avoid suffering.

In this afternoon practice, we focused not so much on the blatant form of suffering as we did yesterday, but on the underlying causes. In the introduction, Alan reflects on how little we really know about suffering in modernity, and how we build our hapiness on very weak foundations of delusion, attachment, and craving. Even if we have good luck and we are hedonically happy, the foundation of that happiness is just a time bomb, and sooner or later it will go off and we will suffer.In this meditation, we experiment with cultivating compassion first for ourselves, freeing ourselves of attachment and craving. These afflictions are terribly deceiving, because they seem pleasant, get us hooked, and never fail to dissapoint. As always, we then expand this yearning to include all beings, and keep breaking down the barriers for our Four Immesaurables.After the meditation Alan pulled one of his amazing acts and and brilliantly summarized pretty much all of Buddhist philosophy in 45 minutes. I took this out and it will be the seasoning for tomorrow's sunday Bonus.This still was given to me by David Cherniack (expect more great stills from him in this last week), and it sort of looks like the mirages that appear on pavement sometimes. They look like water, but when you get closer they never fail to dissapear. (Yes I know that the still is actually real water from our monsoon here, just trying to be imaginative!)
