E38 - We all suffer pain, both physical and emotional. We all suffer the pain of the body, the mind, and the intellect. Buddha tells us that we are all bound to be hit with this first arrow of karma and suffering. He also tells us that we can avoid the second arrow of lingering pain and suffering. We just have to realize that "we" are not in pain. Unhappiness comes from the mind because the body, mind, or intellect is in pain. We witness that pain, but we, the Atman, is not in pain. Understanding that is how you avoid the second arrow.
