2018-11-07 Dukkha and the End of Dukkha--Individual and Collective 1:24:07
Donald Rothberg
We explore the core teaching of the Buddha; he says, "I teach one thing and one thing only, dukkha and the end of dukkha." We examine how we can understand and practice this teaching in terms both of individual and collective dukkha, especially understanding dukkha as reactivity.

Ajahn Sucitto

To free us from our relentless conceptualising and the suffering that comes of it, the Buddha has thrown us a lifeline.
