Craving, Addiction, and the Search for Contentment
About this episode
We started talking about the Four Ennobling Realities but this episode emerged as an honest conversation about craving and addiction. From grief to donuts to dating apps, Danielle and the St. Louis sangha explore how craving shapes our lives, why avoidance often makes things worse, and how Buddhist practice can open a path toward freedom and contentment.
