One day while instructing some of his closest initiates, Saint Buddha spoke in very precise terms about a means for the possible destruction in their nature of the consequences of the properties of the organ kundabuffer, transmitted to them by heredity.

 

     Among the things he said to them was this:

 

     "One of the best means of rendering ineffective the predisposition in your nature to crystallize the consequences of the properties of the organ kundabuffer is 'intentional suffering'; and the greatest 'intentional suffering' can be obtained in our presence by compelling ourselves to endure the displeasing manifestations of others toward ourselves."
