Three Insights Into The Buddha's Four Noble Truths
by Hugh Byrne
This is a 20-minute talk followed by a 5-minute meditation offered at a live Insight Timer session on September 21, 2025. The theme of the talk is the three insights or understandings that apply to each of the Buddha's four noble truths. The first insight is a cognitive or conceptual kind of understanding that is important and necessary but not sufficient to free us from suffering. The second insight is into what needs to be done, what we need to do to free ourselves. With this insight, we engage with suffering and are clear about what our task is in letting go. The third insight is accomplishing what needs to be done. With this insigh,t we've let go completely. The talk and meditation include a poem from William Blake and a quote from James Baldwin.
