Buddhism addresses the human problem of suffering by suggesting a distinctive psychological model of its structure as well as a dispassionate way of thinking about it. Like much of our contemporary way of looking at the world, Buddhism sees any given "structure" as a dynamic whole, having component parts that relate to each other even as they cycle through processes of change. In this view, suffering arises from the constantly changing interrelationship between ignorance and craving and release from this suffering comes about through the application of sustained, detached (or "bare") mental attentiveness.
