Contemplating Dukkha
We live in trying times, and it may be useful to increase our ability to observe and effectively manage the levels of distress and confusion that are termed Dukkha from a Buddhist perspective. The comments during the guided meditation provide ways to recognize and contemplate three aspects of Dukkha–the physical experience of pain and muscle tension, the uncertain and unpredictable nature of the rapid cultural and ecological changes of this time, and the vulnerability to dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors that humanity is confronted with. The foundational concepts and practices that Buddhism provides can, with dedicated meditative training, support our efforts to not be so afflicted by Dukkha, and this contemplation includes suggestions about how to apply these practices.
This guided contemplation is intended to support the Dharma talk that followed this recording entitled “Understanding Dukkha”.
