(A Tricycle Newsletter Article)
By the way for newbies and advanced practitioners alike, I really recommend getting on the free Tricycle e-mail newsletter. Every once in a while I'll post the excerpt and link to an article, but that doesn't mean that not every single one of their articles is worth reading. Here is the LINK to sign up (you don't have to get a paid membership to get the newsletter).
Is Buddhism really a religion of tolerance?Read the full article: HERE.
Buddhism is often considered a religion of tolerance. In many ways it is. But a particular kind of intolerance develops as we practice: intolerance to suffering. I use the word “intolerance” to be deliberately provocative, to encourage you to reflect on suffering and the issues surrounding it. Taking suffering seriously is an important element of Buddhist practice. To ignore it is to miss a powerful opportunity. Intolerance to suffering motivated the Buddha to find liberation from it.
