Understanding Dukkha
We live during stressful times, and the Buddhist concept of dukkha seems appropriate to review in this context. During this talk, Peter describes three aspects of dukkha–the physical experience of dukkha, the uncertainty we are confronted with regarding unexpected cultural and environmental changes, and the essential but unreliable nature of how the internal and private “selfing story” is a common human affliction.
The talk was preceded by a guided meditation entitled “Contemplating Dukkha”, which is intended to complement the contents of this talk.
Here are the notes prepared for this talk: Understanding Dukkha
