The Cause of Suffering with Noah Levine

Against The Stream - A podcast by Noah Levine - Mondays

The Buddha viewed the world as what he called Samsara - meaning a realm of perpetual wandering from one realm to the next. In Samsara there are three core causes of suffering - greed, hatred, and delusion. The promise of Buddhism is that it is possible in this lifetime, through our own efforts, to free ourselves from greed, hatred and delusion.
