19 Feb: The Truth About Suffering

In general, everyone who has physical or mental pain, even animals, understands their own suffering; but when Buddha said in his first teaching, ‘You should know sufferings,’ he meant that we should know the sufferings of our future lives and develop a strong wish to liberate ourself from them now while we have the opportunity.

If you wish to follow the teachings by reading, you can find these instructions in the book Modern Buddhism by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso (also available as a free download).

About the Teacher: Kelsang Sama is a qualified meditation Teacher of Tara International Kadampa Retreat Centre. She is known for her warm heart, gentle humour, and clear, practical way of explaining even the most profound teachings — making it easy to bring Buddha’s wisdom into everyday life.
