So much wisdom in trying to minimize Dukkha. 🙏

Thank you so much for doing this series. I find it very useful to integrate all things related to meditation and to make progress rapidly. Predictive brain is getting attention by scientists these days. And people who are interested in diving deep, Lisa Barrett’s book: How Emotions are made is a good read.

Thank you! Both for your kind words and the excellent book suggestion.

you might meant either "Dhaka " ( bang ) or "Duksha" ( dissatisfaction | depression | discomfort ) ; I feel you meant the later

“Bhikkhus, when the instructed noble disciple is contacted by a painful feeling, he does not sorrow, grieve, or lament; he does not weep beating his breast and become distraught. He feels one feeling-a bodily one, not a mental one. Suppose they were to strike a man with a dart, but they would not strike him immediately afterwards with a second dart, so that the man would feel a feeling caused by one dart only. So too, when the instructed noble disciple is contacted by a painful feeling ... he feels one feeling-a bodily one, not a mental one. Being contacted by that same painful feeling, he harbours no aversion towards it. Since he harbours no aversion towards painful feeling, the underlying tendency to aversion towards painful feeling does not lie behind this. Being contacted by painful feeling, he does not seek delight in sensual pleasure. For what reason? Because the instructed noble disciple knows of an escape from painful feeling other than sensual pleasure... "

I find I can’t help but wonder if the word Dukkah was the origination of the word “dookie” lol
