In this Dharma talk, I discuss Buddhism's first noble truth, "Life is Suffering." At first, this teaching may seem morbid and nihilistic. However, when we look deeper, we find that the first noble truth serves to change our perspective; giving us an "enlightened pessimism" that protects us from suffering.
by Sensei Alex Kakuyo
That was the best explanation of "Life is suffering" that I have encountered - and makes it so applicable to daily life. Thank you.
