    Description

    The second noble truth is the truth that craving (tanha) creates and compounds our suffering. How do we understand the difference between unwholesome craving and wholesome desire? How can our experiences with the pandemic and white supremacy help us to understand these energies? I explore these questions and more and also read a poem from Matty Weingast's adaptation of the Therigatha: The First Free Women: Poems of the Early Buddhist Nuns

    A weekly podcast exploring early Buddhist teachings and how they apply to 21st century life. Kate Spina is trained to share Buddhist teachings in the Theravada lineage. IG: @towardlight108www.towardlight.netinfo@towardlight.netToward Light is committed to continuing the tradition of the Buddha by making Early Buddhist teachings accessible to all who are interested in them. We offer multiple tools to help people cultivate and maintain a meditation practice and a spiritually-oriented life. Toward Light was founded to fill a gap in Early Buddhist meditation offerings, which have often been passed down through patriarchal lineage, and do not always take feminist and 21st century perspectives into account.
