S10 Ep3: "The Elephant Shrew" by Paul Harris

Enlightenment is attainable by anyone, but sometimes students feel unworthy of realising it themselves. As the story of the monk Culapanthaka illustrates, you do not have to be clever to examine life closely. Everyone's situation is unique and contains all the lessons they need to learn about suffering and its cessation. As we see more and more that the unsatisfactory nature of life is fundamentally irresolvable, the more we are able to let go of craving for it to be different and, hence, the less we suffer. Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity. This talk was given in February 2014
