What this episode covers
To initiate the meditation practice, it is important to understand the Four Noble Truths, which are central principles of Buddhist teachings. The first noble truth states that there is the existence of suffering, which can also be referred to as unhappiness. This level of unhappiness is natural and an inherent part of life, not attributable to personal fault. The second noble truth traditionally explains that the cause of suffering or unhappiness is craving and attachment. Clinging to desires results in unhappiness. The third noble truth asserts that it is indeed possible to overcome this suffering, often described as enlightenment or nirvana.
