I know it's like crazy, right?
voice-verified
But that's what made the Buddha, Buddha, Buddha.
voice-verified
It's like he taught this stuff and people were like, oh my God, this is mind blowing.
voice-verified
So let's dive right into it.
voice-verified
We're gonna start with this concept of something that he called the two arrows.
voice-verified
So what the Buddha, first thing that he realized, and you guys may have heard of this because we as psychiatrists love to talk about this, but we only talk about half of the teaching.
voice-verified
That's what's so interesting about it.
voice-verified
We conveniently ignore the prickly half, okay?
voice-verified
So the first half of the teaching is, he says there are two things in life.
voice-verified
There's pain and there's suffering.
voice-verified
So pain is that which you cannot control.
voice-verified
and happens to you.
voice-verified
And suffering is something that you can control and is what you do in response to the pain.
voice-verified
And the analogy that he used is this is like the two arrows.
voice-verified
So one is the arrow that you get hit with that you have nothing to control, no control, right?
voice-verified
You're just walking along, someone shoots an arrow, you take an arrow through the knee, ah.
voice-verified
But then he said something interesting.
voice-verified
When we get hit by the first arrow, we shoot a second arrow at ourselves.
voice-verified
And the majority of our suffering, because pain you can't control, like bad stuff happens in life, right?
voice-verified
That's just life.
