Episode 2 - The Nature of Human Suffering

This episode explores the nature of human suffering or the nature of the human condition. The first main discourse of the Buddha was concerning the nature of suffering, taught in a format commonly known as “The 4 Noble Truths”. Understanding the nature of suffering will allow us to explore how we can minimize suffering for ourselves and for others.

Great stuff. I’m reminded how much ACT borrows from Buddhism in so many ways as you explain here.

The pain of presence and absence, the struggle with the conceptual self, the acknowledgment of suffering. I love the resurgence of these ideas in the modern day.

Wow. This helps a lot. Especially since everyone is obsessed with the phrase... “stay positive “

Thank you so much for doing these podcasts. I’ve suffered from depression my whole adult life and only recently began treatment for it. After a few weeks on medication, I felt well enough to start doing things again. One of the “things” I am learning about is mindfulness. So I bought a book, “mindfulness in plain English, ” and when I started, I had no idea mindfulness was connected to Buddhism itself. I’m learning so much and there is so much knowledge and wisdom out there. I’m very grateful to you and everyone else I’m learning from. Thank you. Be the change you want to see in the world, everyone.

Oh my goodness. This has got to be the most conscice explanation of suffering that i have ever heard. I'm definitely sharing this podcast! You really broke it down in very understandable terms. I've been studying the Dharma for awhile now and i have a fair grasp of this concept but you really put it in a new light for me. Wonderful segment ❤🙏
