How to Solve Our Human Problems – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
In these classes, through teachings and guided meditations, we will explore the most profound teachings of Buddha which we can use as practical advice to solve our daily problems.
In Sutra of the Four Noble Truths, Buddha says:
You should know sufferings.
You should abandon origins.
You should attain cessations.
You should practice the path.
These instructions are known as the “four noble truths.” They are called “noble truths” because they are superior and non-deceptive instructions.
