Not in medicine, behavior, or psychology they don’t. For example in this article published by the a National Library of Medicine:Meaningless semantics without meaning. The words are practically synonymous.

“Pain is a physical sensation or signal indicating an event within the body. Suffering is the interpretation of that event and involves thoughts, beliefs, or judgments,4,5 and reflects the human experience of pain.
Pain can cause suffering when it is uncontrolled or persists.”
I'm not buddahist but from my interpretation this is correct. They view suffering as the response to the pain (anger, fear, anxiety, depression, despair, grief) which they believe can be controlled. Basically, live in the moment and part of the moment (pain and loss) is an aspect of life that you need to accept just as much as the good. Here's a quote below that digs into it.Exactly - pain is an unpleasant physical sensation, suffering is your mental response to it.
When we experience physical pain, we construct a whole story around it that makes it much worse, in addition to clinging to the past sensations and being averse to future expected sensations. This clinging and aversion in addition to the mental story is what causes suffering. An example Sam Harris often uses to demonstrate this are the body sensations one gets during and after a workout. The pain of a workout and post workout soreness can actually be quite pleasant because you have a positive mental story around it, these sensations are good because they mean I'm healthy, improving my body etc. The exact same physical sensations being caused by a sickness result in intense suffering, again because of the negative mental story around it.
when the going gets tough the tough gets going - Buddha
We didn't start the fire, it was always burnin since the world's been turnin' - Jesus
btw Buddha is a concept not a person. There were different Buddhas.
Laughing Buddha and Siddhartha are not the same guy
Research does show that the after effects of traumatic events (ptsd, anxiety, depression are less prevalent in people that don't dwell in them. I think it is more to do with some people being more aware of boundaries/right/wrong and some people who care less about these concepts being willing to move on and forget it. The more respect you have for ethical concepts the harder you are likely to take it. The more you know about society the more likely you will start questioning its safety. If you know nothing about society you have nothing to question.I'm not buddahist but from my interpretation this is correct.

"A Buddhist reminds himself to have no desire/attachment, i.e. see reality as it is instead of wanting reality to be what he wishes to see. When unfortunate event happens, he accept it as it is, without mourning of the past nor anxiety about the future. He tries to concentrate his attention in the present. He knows that no amount of regret can change the past, and no amount of anxiety can guarantee a desirable future. He just does whatever he can do best here and now."
"Right Thought is basically the thought of non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion. Greed leads to clinging/attachment, which is the origin of the whole mass of suffering. Hatred or aversion is the result of clinging/attachment; for example, one hates dirty places because he has clinging/attachment to clean places. Delusion is trying to defy reality such as doing something which is impossible or non beneficial. When one experiences suffering, it is the result of his greed, hatred or delusion. A Buddhist learns from the experience and tries to abandon greed, hatred and delusion to avoid future suffering."
Before I learned anything about Buddhism I always associated Buddhism with fat Buddha. I think most Western people do. Maybe it's because a statue of a bony starving man wouldn't fit well in a Chinese restaurant so happy big Buddha is more presentable.Buddha isn't a concept, its a title, but 'the Buddha' generally always refers to Siddhartha Gautama.
Doesn't really work that way. It gets worse actually.The thing about this quote is that there could be a time when you are complete numb by pain, so in a sense you don't suffer anymore. Like say if you a whipped a 1000 times, I don't think the pain is as significant by that point.
That's what it means I guess, it's all in the mind. The nerves sending the messages to your brain, you can literally cut it off in sense. I know it's not easy, but it is plausible to a degree.
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering? That's optionalDamn I thought it was a quote from DMX.
