Hmmm... initially probably Ouch! :)
Then we might do some meditation on the pain to understand where exactly it hurts and under what conditions it hurts and try to be fully present with our pain. Interestingly enough, those who are proficient in meditation feel less pain that those who don't. So it seems to work.
Margo McCaffery's description of pain is that "Pain is whatever the experiencing person says it is, existing whenever the experiencing person say it does"
A little of both, I would say. It's like a mutual experience :)
Circumcision.
"No pain no gain" is a grammatically correct statement in pidgin English.To say this properly, you would say "There is no gain without pain," or "If there is no pain, then there is no gain."
Probably: tu dolor es mi dolor.
I'd say visit the Doctor, as soon as possible
I am not a buddhist, but I would guess that unless there's a rule that says you specifically can't, then I would say you can.
I have been sleeping on a hardwood floor for a few months now and have since been experiencing lower back pain. I cannot say for sure, but I think sleeping on the floor has caused me some lower back pain.
You would say "bear pain." To "bear" something means to put up with it, to endure it. To "bare" something means to make it naked, unclothed.
there is brute strength and there is spiritual strength. I would say the latter is non-violence in Buddhism, and therefore all buddhist symbols represent strength. Further than that you would have to look into Hindu, or Vedic, symbolism I'm afraid.
For what reason would a buddhist want to pick flowers? Is the purpose because they are so pretty a buddhist cant walk away? Perhaps allowing the next person to also enjoy natures candies would be the kindest act. if say the buddhist were making an offering...a gift or something less self absorbed then this is also kind. If taking a flower killed its plant...that would be unkind...even as a gift. •:)
Help, I'm in pain!
