Anapanasati And The 8 Fold Noble Path | Eno #2 | 8.17.21

Dhammarato dwells upon the notion of enlightenment and its faulty western interpretation. He emphasizes the only teaching of the Buddha, and that is of Dukkha and Dukkha Nirodha. He then brings attention to the practical method of getting rid of Dukkha and gladdening the mind through doing a deep breathing and, literally, talking oneself into feeling good.
