[00:17] In the First Truth, Gautama Buddha encouraged us to fully understand that there is suffering in every corner of our lives. In his Second Truth, he tells us what causes these sufferings. 1. Desire [01:05] Our desires are never-ending. Once we have something new, we start wanting something else. So, if we understand this we will not become attached to things, which in turn will end that particular type of suffering. 2. Anger and Aversion. [02:37] Aversion is the opposite to attachment, and Anger leads to hatred, discrimination, aggression, and a lack of compassion. 3. Unawareness [05:41] Here unawareness means: lack of understanding of the true nature of things. Outro [08:04] You can find more information about this subject in Karma Yeshe Rabgye’s books at http://www.buddhismguide.org/books/ The best way to catch a snake – A Practical Guide to the Buddha’s Teachings; Life’s meandering path – A Secular Approach to Gautama Buddha’s Guide to Living; Ripples in the stream – A Pragmatic Journey Through Gautama Buddha’s Teachings.
