Join us on this episode as we explore suffering as it relates to the first noble truth in Buddhism. Our co-host, a Theravada Buddhist practitioner and life coach, Zaw  Maw, will delve into this topic to provide insights into how the first noble truth offers hope and why suffering is necessary for growth and transformation.

Many Westerners misunderstand the concept of suffering in Buddhism, often associating it with a negative connotation. However, we shed light on the true meaning of suffering and how it can be viewed as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.

The conversation covers the meaning of the first noble truth and how it relates to our daily lives.  We offer practical advice (A Therapist's and a Buddhist's perspective) on approaching suffering in a way that can bring about positive change rather than feeling overwhelmed or defeated.

Whether you are a seasoned Buddhist practitioner or new to the concept, Listeners will understand the importance of embracing suffering as part of the human experience and how the first noble truth can be a source of hope and inspiration. The episode highlights the transformative power of the first noble truth and how it can lead to a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life.
