The so-called Four Noble Truths are the core of the Buddha’s teaching. They are not capital “T” truths, but simple meditation instructions. The first three could be translated as turning toward, relaxing into, and savoring. And they are powerful.
This episode with Doug Kraft was recorded in November 2016, at a retreat given in Hawaii. 

The essence of what the Buddha taught is universal; it shows up in other places, including contemporary poetry and lyrics.  He discovered wisdom deep in human experience. Buddhist practice starts with the notion that nothing needs to be fixed. When we get ourselves out of the way, we turn toward difficulties and then relax into them.  There's love, wisdom, clarity, and flow with us already.
