Bhikkhu Bodhi: Introduction to Buddhism, Part 3: The True Nature of Existence

In this episode of the podcast, we explore the core teachings of Buddhism, highlighting the significance of the five aggregates and the three characteristics of existence: impermanence, suffering, and selflessness. Understanding these principles is key to breaking free from the suffering of samsara. The discussion encourages listeners to gain clear insight into the nature of existence and our interconnected experiences, which helps to shed the attachments that keep us trapped in this cycle. Through direct insight and meditation practice, the episode guides listeners toward a profound realization that can ultimately lead to liberation, also known as Nibbana.
