Freedom from Suffering

"Although concentration and receptive awareness provide enormous benefits, ultimately it's insight and understanding - of how the mind works, how you perpetuate your own suffering, how attached you are to the outcome of events, and how uncontrollable and fleeting these events are - that offer freedom from suffering."

- Stephan Bodian
