The second noble truth is called the truth of the origination of suffering. The term, “origination,” samudaya, means “cause”-and a particular kind of cause at that: a cause coming from events in the mind.
"This is the main message of this truth: The cause of suffering lies inside. You suffer, not from what comes into the mind, but from what comes out of it.""
Things outside-society, the climate-might be atrocious, but they’re not the real cause of your suffering. If they were, then in the quest to put an end to suffering, you’d have to make the world a perfect place. But the world resists being made perfect. As we noted in Podcast Part 3, even the highest heavens are impermanent and imperfect. Suffering could never cease.
But because the cause of suffering lies within the mind, and because the mind can be trained to be perfect in completing the duties of the four noble truths, the end of suffering is possible. When you can train the mind to abandon the causes of suffering coming from inside, nothing in any world of experience can make you suffer in any way.
The Buddha identifies the origination of suffering as any craving that leads to further becoming, accompanied by passion and delight, delighting now here, now there.

Before Buddha Shakyamuni appears three thousand years ago, is there anyone that can help sentient beings to transcend the reincarnation of birth and death? No one can! Shakyamuni Buddha manifested into this world for only one mission : To teach sentient beings the method to transcend the reincarnation of birth and death and exit the Six Realms forever. Because sentient beings' afflictions are too heavy and too deep, the Buddha had to use 84000 expedient means to teach these heavily deluded sentient beings. Otherwise, the Buddha needs only to expound only one supreme sutra, The Infinite Life Sutra. What sutra, is the Infinite Life Sutra? Infinite Life Sutra teaches sentient beings to attain Buddhahood. Infinite Life Sutra teaches sentient beings, in one life to attain Buddhahood. Infinite Life Sutra teaches sentient beings, in one lifetime, guarantee to attain the Universal Equality Buddhahood. Infinite Life Sutra is the only Sutra spoken by two Buddhas at the same assembly. Shakyamuni Buddha expounded the Infinite Life Sutra and the 48 Great Vows were personally delivered by Amitabha Buddha. This is the most inconceivable moment at the Vulture Peaks that has never happen before and it will never happen again in the future. 🙏🙏🙏Amituofo
