Suffering is an unavoidable part of being human, yet many people face it with fear, resistance, or self-blame. Befriending Suffering offers a calm and practical guide for meeting pain with awareness, compassion, and clarity.Written in an accessible style inspired by Buddhist practice, this book explores how suffering becomes heavier through mental habits-and how it can soften when met wisely. Readers learn how to stay present without becoming overwhelmed, care for pain with kindness, and transform difficult experiences into understanding.This third volume in The Path of Inner Peace series is designed for everyday life. It does not promise to remove suffering, but shows how to relate to it without adding unnecessary pain. Through gentle reflections and mindful perspectives, the book supports readers in cultivating emotional balance and inner resilience.
