S6 Ep6: "The Two Arrow Problem" by Paul Harris

Suffering  within the four noble truths is discussed and the need to understand the cause behind it. The two arrows are described: how the first is inherent suffering that we are born with and that the second is conditioned by the craving to get away from the first. The importance of compassion to lessen self concern is described along with a description of insight meditation and how to approach it. Finally, there is a description of how the enlightened being approaches the two arrows.



Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.
