The cause of suffering is dependence, and 

independence is the remedy.

=================================

All suffering is born of desire.

..............

Such desire is of the mind. 

...............

Selfishness is the cause  of suffering. 

There is no other cause.

.................

Beyond the mind  there is no suffering. 

................

It is selfishness, 

due to a self-identification with the 

body that is the main problem and the cause of all  other problems. 

..................

One suffers along with what one thinks oneself to be.

....................

With the dissolution of the personal 

"I" personal suffering disappears.
