Buddha Dharma Part Three - The Causes Of Suffering

The first noble truth describes how life has suffering running through it and in the second truth Buddha gave some of the reasons for this suffering. There is not just one cause of our suffering, as there is not one cause of anything. Things come into being through a series of causes and conditions, and that is the same for our suffering. However, there are three main things that cause us emotional and psychological suffering, namely, the three poisons.

This is a concise, logical explanation of the causes of suffering and specifically, the three poisons of clinging attachment to desires, aversion/anger/hatred, and the failure to understand clearly the nature of things, whether emotional or physical. I found comfort and clarity in the discussion of the ability to achieve liberation through effort. Valuable knowledge shared.

Both challenging and comforting food for thought, and above all food for feeling. Namaste 🤓🙏🏻

Interesting and thought provoking talk. A lot to get my head around and think on.

Enjoying this series of short talks. Thought provoking. Simply put but high impact. Intend to reflect and revisit this series. 🙏🏻

Thank you. Informative and getting to peace through understanding.
