Does your faith have specific teaching on the meaning of human suffering?

To suffer here on earth, is to lighten our burden when we pass over the veil in purgatory. If we make purgatory. I was taught, if you offer your pains and sufferings to the souls in purgatory to lighten their burdens when you go they will help you. It sounds simple but read the book Purgatory Explained and you will understand what I'm talking about. Didn't you ever hear the expression the road to hell is paved with roses and the to heaven is paved with thorns. Those thorns are the thorns Our Lord wore and we must wear to enter the Kingdom. How ever little the suffering or however great the suffering. Yes, we must suffer and do it with dignity the way He did when He walked on Calvary. It sounds like its cruel but That's the way it is.

the four noble truths and the eight fold path. practicing the teaching of Lord Buddha will definitely change our mindset which in turn transform suffering into happiness.

Staying in a neutral state of mind is of great benefits

Thubten Chodron: Back in the 1970s, Lama Zopa Rinpoche compassionately taught us again and again the evils of the eight worldly concerns. Here’s what they are, listed in four pairs with each revolving around a certain kind of object.

1. taking delight in having money and material possessions, and the other one in the pair is being disappointed, upset, angry when we lose them or don’t get them.

2. feeling delighted when people praise us and approve of us and tell us how wonderful we are, and the converse is feeling very upset and dejected when they criticize us and disapprove of us – even if they are telling us the truth!

3. feeling delighted when we have a good reputation and a good image, and the converse is being dejected and upset when we have a bad reputation.

4. feeling delighted when we experience sense pleasures—fantastic sights, sounds, odors, tastes and tactile sensations—and feeling dejected and upset when we have unpleasant sensations.

These eight worldly concerns keep us pretty busy in our life. Most of our life is spent trying to obtain four of them and trying to avoid the other four.
