Summary

This episode explores the nature of human suffering or the nature of the human condition. The first main discourse of the Buddha was concerning the nature of suffering, taught in a format commonly known as "The 4 Noble Truths". Understanding the nature of suffering will allow us to explore how we can minimize suffering for ourselves and for others.
