Dukkha, Dukkha Niroda: The Ways of Changing Attitude towards Life | Eric R #1 | 8.20.21

In this introductory conversation, Eric and Dhammarato compare the Buddhist way of meditative practices to the Western approach of mindfulness. Dhammarato gives a practical explanation of the Buddha's teaching, that is of seeing the Dukkha and getting rid of it immediately. With a touch of humor, he compares Buddhist and religious views of the human nature, pointing out stark differences in between them.
