Clarity and Understanding

Such are the insights into the Four Noble Truths given to me by great mercy:

Suffering is not limited to any event, it applies to ALL EVENTS:
As the Buddha said: "sabbe anicca, sabbe dukkha, sabbe anatta."
Everything is impermanent, everything is suffering, everything is free from inherent existence.

Why is that? Are there not these moments and feelings that make us happy?

NO, THEY ARE NOT! THEY DO NOT EXIST, THEY ARE JUST OUR MENTAL IMAGINATION.

These moments and feelings only confirm our suffering by proving that in our normal state of being when we are not joined with them we are not happy.

That means that our normal state of being is separation from happiness and fulfillment.

That clearly is suffering,
that clearly is the root of suffering,
that clearly is the cause of suffering.

Being united with what we want, what we are longing for, therefore is not the fulfillment of happiness, in fact it is the fulfillment of suffering. To believe that happiness can be achieved in this world by getting what we want is ignorance of what we truely are, is the total deception of our being, therefore it is the essential inner conflict that reflects in the outer world as countless other conflicts.

Yes, the outer world is nothing but a merciful reflection of what we think we are so that we can see it clearly. It reminds us to look inside.

Being in conflict with ourself is suffering which disconnects us from the experience of the immeasurable and unconditioned happiness that is built into ourselves. Seeking for pleasure and avoiding pain is seeking for suffering by avoiding the understanding of this truth about ourselves.

Experiencing dissatisfaction and pain carries the great potential to reveal us the truth of the unsatisfactoriness of impermance and our identification with it by clinging to it. Therefore being separated from what we want and being joined with what we want to avoid can turn as transparent experiences into the clear and liberating understanding of the existential failure of our identification with something and someone we are not by clinging to it. Because this identification with any form by clinging to any form is the cause of pain and suffering.

By this understanding success in this world by getting what we want and by avoiding what we do not want turns into an obstacle for insight and realisation. It keeps us blinded by feeding the ignorance (illusion) that identification with impermance by clinging to impermanence can lead to anything good and ultimately bear the fruit of happiness. In deed, it is rather a postponement of realisation unless we see the emptiness of it.
