This talk offers core teachings from the Buddhist tradition. The Four
Noble Truths express the Buddha's realizations of essential truths of
life. These important points on suffering and the end of suffering are
illuminated, as well as how we can apply them in practice.
This talk presents a discussion on the Buddha's discourses on the Four
Noble Truths and Not-self, with reflections on the importance of our
"relational self".
The tendency to relate to others through a sense of possessiveness, through clinging, creates suffering; so does clinging to ourselves as the "aggregates". To relinquish possessiveness is to open the doors to freedom.
