How Can We Meet Suffering?

The Buddha is often quoted as saying that he taught "suffering and the end of suffering." But what does this mean? This is a dharma talk that describes my own experience of suffering due to an accident, and what I learned about the many ways we can practice with the wisdom of no escape.

So my life is just this and this sucks. This somehow becomes my practice, and by not turning alway and escaping in shame, anger, and pretense I can somehow,after a while, see the “cracks” in what I took to be a kind of monolithic impossibility. The cracks are the possible and I see them after somehow hanging on.

As a nurse, I see a lot of suffering. I have recently dealt with suffering greatly myself, and this was perfect in helping me remember the connections I can now bring to my practice.
