Is there a line of thought in Buddhism that is less centered on suffering? I am at the very beginning of my journey.
As I understand, suffering and the escape of it are central parts of Buddhism. (Though the notation &quot;all life is suffering&quot; seems to be a misinterpretation.)
Are there schools of Buddhism catering to those who see no major suffering in their lives, and hence do not feel any urge to end such?
The scripture MN 117 explains there are two sorts of Right View or two sorts of Buddha's teaching, namely: (i) supramundane/transcendent; and (ii) mundane/worldly.
The mundane/worldly teachings that focus on avoiding bad kamma, doing good kamma and 'rebirth' are less focused on suffering &amp; the cessation of suffering.
These 'kamma &amp; rebirth' teachings are for the ordinary people called 'puthujjana' who are spiritually blind and naturally unable to discern the unsatisfactoriness and meaninglessness of the world.
These mundane/worldly teachings are to prevent ordinary people inflicting self-harm upon themselves and others.
These mundane/worldly teachings not only include moral teachings but also teachings about generating loving-kindness towards all beings.
