Craving = Suffering; Letting Go = End of Suffering | Guided Buddhist Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri

Craving = Suffering; Letting Go = End of Suffering | Guided Buddhist Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri

The Buddha has expounded four Noble Truths:

  1. The Noble Truth of Suffering ('Dukkha')
  2. The Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering, namely Craving ('Dukkha-Samudaya', i.e. 'Taṇhā)
  3. The Noble Truth of the End of Suffering, namely the end of craving ('Dukkha-Nirodha')
  4. The Noble Truth of the Practice leading to the End of Suffering, namely the Noble Eightfold Path ('Dukkha-Nirodha-Gāminī-Paṭipadā', i.e. 'Ariyo-Aṭṭhangiko Maggo')

In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to observe the 1st, 2nd and partial aspects of the 3rd Noble Truth directly in our own experience while meditating.

We use the breath as primary object to focus our attention. Then we mindfully observe how craving pulls our mind away from the breath, with the result that we loose the peace, calm and joy, and experience suffering.

On the other hand, when we can let go of craving, we can return to the breath, re-establish calm, and the suffering caused by thinking and other distractions comes to an end.
