Free from suffering
Suffering is a normal condition. If you have a body, you will experience suffering. There is no escaping suffering until you become fully awakened and leave your physical body behind. Buddha describes the path to become fully awakened. Full awakening and natural events will eventuate complete freedom from suffering. Buddhists are not free of suffering any more than anyone else, until they have an awakening experience. Then, suffering will begin to diminish, however, suffering does not fully extinguish until one if fully awakened and left the body.

The suffering ends when we realize this (by following the guidelines known as the Eightfold Path) and we accept the middle path.
