Why We Suffer

Why We Suffer - And the Buddha's Treatment Plan

Why We Suffer

You may download a copy of the book below. If you would like a hard copy, please contact us using our contact form.


The Buddha’s earliest teachings are like a doctor’s diagnosis and prescription for at least some of the suffering that just seems to be a part of being human. He acknowledges how vulnerable  we are, often due to our resistance to the way things are, and  then shows us how to not make it worse.  His treatment plan is sometimes known as the Noble Eightfold  Path, eight wise ways to see our world, and to change the  reactivity that could lead to unfortunate consequences when  we’re not paying attention. And to more peace and harmony  when we do.

Six Pathways to Happiness - Vol 1

Six Pathways to Happiness Vol 1 – Mindfulness and Psychology in Chinese Buddhism

  Written by Don Sloane (Xiankuan) – Lay Dharma Teacher Don is affectionately known as “ShuShu” (Uncle Don) in the Chinese community. He took lay precepts in 2005 and Bodhisattva vows in 2007 in the Chan (Zen) Buddhist tradition with Master Jiru. Don originally began his study and practice of meditation in 1969 under the mentorship of his first teacher, Ho Kuang-chung, from Nanjing, whom briefly taught at Washington University. Shortly thereafter, he began practicing yoga with Anita Montero Campion, T’ai Chi, Al Huang and various teachers around the U.S., including at the original Cheng Man-ching school in NYC and Sophia Delza Wu T’ai Chi School in NYC. For several years he continued his meditation training with a Tibetan Lama, Lodu Rinpoche, a disciple of the world-renowned Kagyu Master, Kalu Rinpoche. For the past decade, Don has studied and practiced with Master Jiru and Venerable Kungshih in secluded Augusta, MO. Don was a professor at the graduate school of Washington University for 17 years and currently practices cognitive behavioral therapy, traveling around the country offering seminars on CBT and mindfulness.
