At the foundation of the Dharma is an ever-shifting relation to Dukkha. Though simply being human means that dukkha will be a part of our life, the ways in which we meet it vary widely. Even recognizing it can be a challenge, not to mention dealing with it, practicing with it. And if we vow to free all beings from suffering — the first Great Vow — what have we signed on for?
This week we explored the the nuances of this fundamental aspect of our lives, as Steve guided us through its ins and out, drawing a well on the wisdom of dharma teacher Gil Fronsdal.
A link to Gil’s talk is forthcoming.
