You Can Only Suffer If You Have an Idea of What Must

Pain comes not from events themselves but from the mind's insistence that reality conform to its ideas of what should happen.

Key Teachings

Suffering arises only when the mind holds onto fixed ideas about how things should be
When you release the idea of 'what must happen,' the basis for suffering dissolves
The mind creates suffering through attachment to its own projections and expectations
