Does Buddhism help alleviate stress, anxiety, loneliness, and other problems of modern life?
It may and often does, but that is not the aim of practice. To practice the Eightfold Path is to cultivate an understanding which transcends the usual Western concepts of self-improvement. Buddhist practice aims at awakening to the true nature of experience, which is emptiness, rather than striving to attain or avoid any particular experience.
