Like most other wisdom traditions, Buddhism assumes that suffering is contingent on ignorance and attachment, while liberation from suffering is dependent on wisdom and detachment. If we cling to what we are not without being aware of it, we will suffer; liberation from suffering requires that we become aware of our false identifications, thereby letting the clinging go.
