Suffering Is Optional

Scott explains why he sees himself more as a mentor than a teacher now. He’s interested in empowering people to take responsibility for their own suffering so that they can end it. In the days when he was a teacher, and it was about pointing to presence, the focus was not on the root of suffering. People could not end their suffering and neither could Scott. In this podcast, Scott speaks very directly to all those who are interested in the question of suffering. Scott explains that suffering in each moment is optional with this work and that, if we are earnest, suffering overall can stop arising.
