2022-09-04 Ending Suffering 34:51
Hugh Byrne
The Buddha said, "I teach one thing, suffering and its end." His first and central teaching on the Four Noble Truths provides us with an understanding of suffering and its origins in craving/clinging; and how it’s possible to end suffering by abandoning clinging and the path to follow to end suffering in our lives—the Noble Eightfold Path. We can bring this teaching to bear on any moment or experience of our life and find freedom from suffering.

Ayya Medhanandi
Where is safety in this world? As the Buddha taught: “Not apart from awakening and austerity, not apart from sense restraint, not apart from relinquishing everything do I see any safety for any living being”. So with unshakeable faith, not faltering in the face of difficulty or pain, we nurture heroic patience and compassion. Wisely probing and seeing the Noble Truths of suffering, its cause, its ending, and the way beyond suffering, we hasten to follow the Noble Eightfold Path into the stream and across – to our freedom
