In this talk, I delve into the idea that suffering arises from a lack of peace, similar to how darkness is simply the absence of light. I explore the nuanced difference between momentary happiness and deep-seated peace, the latter of which I argue is a more profound and stable form of contentment. Through personal anecdotes, I illustrate how physical pain, like a severe toothache experienced before a family trip, while unpleasant, didn't equate to suffering for me due to an underlying sense of peace and happiness in my life. I distinguish between pain and suffering, arguing that while pain is an immediate signal indicating something is amiss—be it physical or emotional—suffering usually denotes a deeper existential unrest, often ignored or masked by distractions. I share my journey towards finding peace, which involved confronting both physical and emotional pains head-on, engaging in self-exploration, and finding meaningful ways to address internal conflicts. I conclude by emphasizing the importance of being present and aligned with one's values and surroundings as a way to mitigate suffering and cultivate a life of peace.
