Mayka,
Could anyone state steps to manage chronic pain in a more complete,
succinct and clear manner than does the above teacher in the referenced
article?

Thanks for the link ED. Anything that people have experienced in
themselves in the treatment of pain management is good to be share with
others. But whatever writing created on this subject without having the
personal and direct experience in one, It will bring disorientation to
all those people who are in real pain and don't know how to handle it.
Personally, talking about pain is not amongst my favourite subjects to
talk about it. Motherless, my experience with it is very real and that
experience is very valuable to other people who would like to know about
it as first hand. I was already requested in several occasions in the
past to share this experience and write in their magazine by high
authorities of the dharma. I never did it. I said that I had to go
deeper into it and couldn't be distracted by writing. Those authorities
of the dharma know me personally and face to face. So, I'm actually
honouring this website and the zen living one by writing about it.
You're great finding information and your links can be at times very
interesting. They add an spice to postings. So If you could find more
about this subject I should be grateful as it will save me time and
effort of writing posting about this subject. But try to find
information that is reliable and have been experienced by the one who
writes. We don't want to mess about this subject. We only genuinely
want to share real experiences about this subject to alleviate the pain
in others. Don't we? Thank you ED.

appears to me to very nicely state the case for how to manage pain.
