Second of a four part series on the Four Hallmarks of the Buddha's teachings, this episode explores dukkha (suffering) in our immediate experience, through the dynamic practice of Meditative Inquiry.
A vital element of healing and transforming in Tibetan Buddhist practice, meditative inquiry is also the heart of the Buddha's contemplative technology for cultivating view progressively, all the way to transcending views altogether.
