I respect you, Venerable Monk. May I ask what is the core teaching of Buddha? What can help me cope with extreme suffering? I would like to thank you.

Answer:
When you are faced with extreme suffering, fully perceive it as it is and you will see clearly the cause of it. It’s not about the past cause, but the present attitude towards that suffering. From seeing the present attitude you will see all the causes from the past to the future and put an end to that cause. This is the core of the enlightened view that the Buddha taught.
