Satipatthana 3 - What Is Suffering?

This session explores dukkha, usually translated as suffering, because the reason we practice is to relieve suffering. This Dharma Talk is the third in a multi-session course introducing the Satipatthana Sutta, the Establishments of Mindfulness teaching offered by the Buddha 2600 years ago. The course covers the entire teaching in small, simple steps and was taught to a live class on Zoom in 2021.

A great talk examining the connection of Buddhist mindfulness foundations - including some language differences between pali and Sanskrit and what actually dukha means. Thank you, Melina Bondy!

This is a fantastic , uncomplicated, enlightening discussion of why it is important to sit with (not avoid) dukkha or suffering. Thank you!
