One of the primary tenets of Buddhism is that suffering is universal and inevitable. Many Buddhist practices are focused on the elimination of suffering. Is it necessary to struggle in order to transform? Does the adage “No pain, no gain” apply to all situations? How do we honor the value of growth through suffering, while at the same time working to eliminate suffering?
For
this module I wanted to give you the opportunity to reflect on the
process of growth through suffering and trauma. You have certainly
learned by now that there are many portals to transformation. Some of
those are developmental, while others can come through religious ecstasy
or dramatic insights. This week we are specifically focusing on those
portals that come through trauma. For our discussion this week, I invite
you to do some reflection on the process of growth. Here are some
questions to use for your reflection. Do not feel obligated to answer
each one. Rather use them to take your reflections into this topic.
