End Of Suffering

Yoga & Free Guided Meditations

There is an old Zen story of a turtle and a fish. The turtle lived on land as well as in the water while the fish only lived in the water. One day, when the turtle had returned from a visit to the land, he told the fish of his experiences. He explained that creatures walked rather than swam. The fish refused to believe that dry land really existed because that was something beyond his own experience. In the same way, people may not have experienced the end of suffering, but it does not mean that the end of suffering is not possible.

The end of suffering is the final goal of the Buddha's Teaching. In the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, it is the eight and final limb identified in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. It can be experienced by anyone here and now.

In this podcast we will talk about ways to achieve this state through the lense of yoga and mindfulness practices.
