About this episode
We all want to avoid pain, boredom, and disappointment but these feelings are part of life. In Buddhism, this is called dukkha, the second of the Three Marks of Existence. In this conversation with the St. Louis sangha, Danielle unpacks what dukkha really means, why it’s more than just “suffering,” and how accepting its place in the human experience can actually free us to enjoy life more fully.
