Deliverance from Suffering
There is much Dukkha (Sufferings) in the world which is our own doing, we can certainly eradicate it. We can also assuage a lot of Dukkha which is other people's doing.
To a world in the grip of Dukkha, the Blessed One has brought the message of deliverance. The Buddha truly stated, "Just one thing do I teach, suffering and deliverance from suffering". In another immortal saying the Buddha had declared "Bikkhus, as the great ocean has put one taste, the taste of deliverance (Vimuthi)".
Let us therefore reverently and in full faith listen carefully to His teachings and follow Him steadfastly. For we have His assurance and more than that we hardly need. "I have found the hidden way to truth and trodden it. The truth is here before my eyes for it is very part of me. I have proclaimed to all men how it may be found. Let those who have grown weary of illusion follow in the self-same way".
