Buddhism

Meeting suffering with awareness and compassion.

---

In Buddhist teaching, suffering is not treated as a mistake or a personal failure.
It is something to be known clearly and met wisely.

A simple thread runs through much of the tradition:
first we recognize suffering as it is,
then we understand what feeds it,
and then we practice a path that reduces harm and increases compassion.

A Human Movement

• Recognize: There is suffering.
• Open: This suffering can be met and understood.
• Bless: May this be held with kindness.

Different words. Same human heart.
