We all suffer. And we suffer because we create a war between how things are and how we want them to be.

Jonathan Prescott shares the story of his own suffering and how the Buddha's example inspired him to end the war with his life.

This is the first talk given by Jonathan Prescott at Radiant Light Zen's Interbeing of Suffering and Liberation retreat and focuses on suffering. The second talk, Take Down Your Wall, focuses on liberation.
