Life is suffering - The first noble truth ... Shakyamuni Buddha Sensei Siebuhr delivers this week's dharma talk. Sensei discusses in depth what is meant by "life is suffering". We are all dying. Dwelling on the human situation would be very depressing but examined from a different philosophy it could lead to a constructive conclusion. What does it mean to be a human being not to suffer the torment about imminent death? Human suffering leads to enlightenment.
