Here’s today’s question: How can Buddhism help me with this stress caused by chronic physical pain? How can I be happy living with chronic illness?
Buddhism teaches that falling to illness is not a form of failure or defeat. In fact, illness can be an inspiration to bring out our best, most resilient selves.
(You can also listen to Buddhability on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts.)
