Illness is one of the most direct ways in which the impermanence of life impacts us.

The body must face and cope with the pain of illness,
while the mind, even more so, needs to accept and let go of its inner suffering.

When we become ill, how can we face illness in a healthy way and remain at peace?

Let us take a look at what the Buddha has to say: https://reurl.cc/WzW0Wx
