Listen "How to Face Challenges without Suffering"
Episode Synopsis
So often we struggle with life’s challenges—reacting with stress, craving, or grasping—only to find ourselves adding suffering on top of difficulty.In this talk, I explore the Buddha’s essential teachings on dukkha (suffering), sukha (well-being), and tanha (craving)—and how to navigate them skillfully so we can live with greater resilience, peace, and joy.We’ll look at how pain becomes suffering, how pleasure can sometimes backfire, and most importantly, how to find the kinds of happiness that don’t depend on craving or clinging.You’re welcome to join me live each week for these talks — for free — by signing up here. We always start with a guided meditation to set the tone for the evening. If you’d like to experience the meditation that accompanied this talk, you can listen to it here.And if you'd like to check out any of my online programs, you can receive 20% off by using coupon code PW20 during checkout.
