Suffering

Tibetan Buddhist nun Ven. Tenzin Palmo explains that, although we desperately want happiness, we are undermined by a society that rewards greed, aggression and egotism—the very causes of suffering—which are ultimately based on a misconception of who we really are. With heartfelt passion for human potential, Tenzin Palmo asks, “How can we collectively wake up?”

Buddhist teacher, former inmate and founder of several prison service organizations Fleet Maul talks about life behind bars. Even in the hostile prison environment, Fleet found that people would eventually reveal their humanity, which inspired him to rededicate his life to spiritual practice and service.
