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.

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

Thank you for your teaching❤🙏

Your talk on dukkha is EXACTLY what I'm searching for! Meditation has saved me... I'm 9 months into daily mindfulness meditation practice & am searching for meaning & purpose in my life. I will be listening to all your content, as it seems the Buddha has touched me more than any other practice.

Sādhu! Sādhu! Sādhu!

Such a helpful way to think about very human experiences.

This talk was timely for me. I could use a daily reminder to put the baggage/weight of the world down. Nothing has change other than my perception after listening to this talk. A change in perception is liberating!🙏
