Could you please elaborate - free within suffering? Klesha (affliction) and vedana (sensation) - are all emotions to be understood as afflictions for they ultimately bring suffering and all sensations as well? There are sensations such as joy (mudita)...

Freedom within suffering is a complete re-envisioning of the relationship between them, as practice inevitably transforms these relationships, transmuting one into the other so that ultimately all distinctions are dissolved.

The Buddha on his deathbed: "After the Buddha had eaten Cunda's meal, he fell severely ill with bloody dysentery, struck by dreadful pains (pabāḷhā vedanā), close to death. But he endured with mindfulness and situational awareness, without worrying." Mahāparinibbāṇa Sutta

Nāgārjuna on transmutation: na saṃsārasya nirvāṇāt kiṃcid asti viśeṣaṇam na nirvāṇasya saṃsārāt kiṃcid asti viśeṣaṇam "There is no distinction whatsoever between saṃsāra and nirvāṇa. There is no distinction whatsoever between nirvāṇa and saṃsāra." MMK 25.19

In Chan we encounter an even more radical declaration: 「煩惱即是菩提」 kleśa is bodhi, affliction is awakening

Freedom within suffering is a spin on freedom from suffering. Given that people get worked up by the word 'from' in the same way they get worked up by 'emptiness' perhaps it's helpful to reframe the relationship for their sake. Whatever arises, may we be free in the midst of it.
