In this episode we connected with Chan master Žarko Andričević who currently lives in Zagreb, Croatia. In the #BasicTruthSeries category, we want to shed light on various core concepts of Buddhism and exchange with experienced practitioners about their meaning. So we began our journey with the first noble truth, dukkha, suffering. In the conversation with Zarko we found that the translation of the sanskrit term “dukkha” as “suffering” is rather inadequate. How can we understand this teaching of the Buddha and why is it important to face it?
