The Four Thoughts - Suffering of Samsara

In this short teaching, Mingyur Rinpoche discusses the fourth of the four common foundational practices, also called the four thoughts. These practices help us understand our true nature and develop wisdom that can end suffering. They aid in seeing and ending our negative habitual patterns. When causes and conditions come together a result will follow. This is suffering, the fourth thought. You can discuss this teaching in the Monthly Teachings Forum under the topic The Four Thoughts - Suffering of Samsara.
