Craving = Suffering; Letting Go = End of Suffering | Ajahn Dhammasiha

We dont need to know a lot in order to understand Dhamma. It's not like studying for a PhD. No need for eleborate, sophisticated intellectual proliferation. We only have to understand one thing very deeply:Craving inevitably results in Suffering.When we let go of craving, suffering will come to an end.That's all we have to comprehend, by carefully observing craving ('taṇhā') in our heart, and mindfully watching how it causes suffering ('dukkha'). Once that causal relationship is clearly seem and understood, the heart will let go of craving and experince the end of suffering.Almost every Buddhist has heard of the Four Noble Truths. But many are not aware of the duties the Buddha has attached to each of them:Suffering is to be comprehended.Craving is to be abandoned.The end of suffering, Nibbāna, is to be realized.The Noble Eightfold Path leading to the end of suffering is to be developedAjahn Dhammasiha reminds us to focus on these duties when working with the 4 Noble Truths, to receive the full benefits intended for that contemplation.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive.
