“Life is suffering,” right? Actually, Buddhism’s message is that it doesn’t have to be. In this teaching on the first of the Four Noble Truths, we’ll talk about what the truth of dukkha (unsatisfactoriness) really means. The Four Noble Truths lay out the basic beliefs of Buddhism: that unenlightened life will never be fully satisfactory, that we keep suffering because we keep grasping at things and situations outside ourselves, and that there’s a way out of this mess.
