Description
Andrew shares some reflections on the Buddha's personal path to awakening - leaving the comfort of worldly pleasures in seek of deeper abiding fulfillment. He discusses how the Buddha uncovered the cause of much of human dissatisfaction to be led by a seemingly unquenchable desire for things to be different than the way they are in the present experience - this is what is called, tanha, or craving. The Buddha taught a way of cultivating a deeper sense of abiding happiness that is not dependent upon craving for temporary conditions to be pleasant; this deeper happiness is what we call the Noble Eightfold Path (wise view, intention, speech, action, effort, mindfulness, and concentration).
