No Mud, No Lotus: Exploring Our Suffering

While the Buddha assured us that our meditation practice is the path to freedom, he also explained that in order for us to achieve a more profound happiness than we could ever find outside of ourselves, we first need to take an honest, courageous look at all the ways that we create more suffering for ourselves. This talk explores the many different types of dukkha (suffering) that we experience, and how shining a light on them through our practice can help to soften and even dissipate them.

Some great quotes! and a good theme. I really appreciate your talks.

What a genuine relief to listen to Shell throughout this talk. Grounding, kind, immensely intelligent, and the wisdom that makes every difficult thing in life exhale. Thank you, Shell! Can’t recommend this enough.

Thank you for this wise teaching and many blessings to you 🫶

Thank you, I had been suffering in my own mind, i asked the universe to show me a direction to go to that i would understand deeply to help guide me out of suffering & up you popped I am so grateful to be here right now, to of listened to your teachings from the Buddah & other wise mentors.
I'm actually going to Shen Buddist Service in a couple of hours, so when I'm asked to speak, I have some realization & compassion to speak about. Thank you, namaste 🙏❤
