Talk - Dukkha: Laying Down the Burden

The First Noble Truth the Buddha gave to us is that of Dukkha, most often translated as suffering, but best translated as "that which is difficult to bear".

In this Dhamma talk Bhante J spells out what Dukkha is in various ways, and how we go about abandoning it.

Thank you! This was both eye opening and affirming. 💛

This talk clarified so much for me, thank you a thousand times! You have a beautiful way of explaining things that help to make all parts of the topic make sense, tie together, and easy for the layman to understand. Many blessings!🪷🙏🪷

Clear, helpful talk. I like the definition of dukha being “difficult to bear,” and the notion that accepting impermanence will help us to suffer less. Still, craving and attachment are essential (inevitable?) aspects of human life, yes? I will look for your followup talk.

Thorough and explained so well!

Thank you
