Suffering is the status of the mind when it feels uncomfortable, unwanted, and unfavorable. Lord Buddha commenced his teaching with the teaching and realization of suffering. Why Buddha took suffering as his core concern and why not happiness? The two extremes are to be avoided according to the Buddha are self-mortification and self-enjoyment. In Buddhism, following must be preceded by understanding and not faith. Buddha ordered his monks that not two of them should go in same direction. Buddha was not talking about the benefit of his Dhamma that it will give you a better life after death, rather it will start giving you its fruit now and here and thereafter.
