Episode 259: Pain is Not a Problem

June 17, 2019

Here, Reggie teaches on experiences of pain that we encounter on the path of meditation. He says that people often judge pain as a bad thing, but the foundation of Buddhist practice is the First Noble Truth: the more we try to avoid pain, the more we suffer.

This talk was given at the 2002 Winter Dathün retreat held in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
