Suffering
A Quest in the Category Self & Spirituality
 
 
Mystery
Why is there so much suffering in the world? Is suffering is inevitable?
Can suffering be used for self-transformation? Is it necessary for spiritual growth? Can we turn suffering into a song?


 
Suffering can be debilitating, destructive. Or it can help us find what’s at the very root of our life.

At the meeting we'll take a look at several insights about suffering. Then we will explore the place of suffering in our own life. Finally, we will think about how we can use suffering for self-transformation and social action.
 

"There are three ways to respond to grief. You can cry, you can be silent, or you can turn your sorrow into a song."
