Hello, wonderful Open Heart Project. I hope you are well and finding joy in your world.
In the last few weeks, we began a discussion of the Four Noble Truths, the foundational teachings in all of Buddhism.
- Life is suffering. (uh-oh)
- The cause of suffering (grasping)
- The cessation of suffering (it’s possible!)
- The Noble 8-Fold Path (steps you can take to alleviate suffering)
This week, we move on to truth number three, how to stop suffering. I hope you find this useful, interesting, helpful, especially at this terrible time of war and strife.
Thoughts? Love to hear them.
Much love, Susan

Wow! Just what I needed.
Thank you Susan, you are awesome.
🙏🏼 Thank you Susan for this practice. I benefitted greatly .
Thank you, I so needed this at this time. 🙏❤
This was beautiful, raw and vulnerable. Thank you for the “inhaling water” story, that’s “waking up”. Tell your husband it brought tears to my eyes. Please no more inhaling of water, sending big big love! Always
This was so full! So many connections made: Cessation of suffering through awareness & strengthening this through development of the details of my life, linked to precision of mind with consistent meditation practice. Lots to ponder. With much gratitude for your in-depth teaching.
Really enjoying these. Clear explanations and very informative. Thank you so much!!! Looking forward to the 8 fold path.
Thank you, very timely for me x
So clear! I am feeling a breakthrough:) Appreciating these so much.
Inspiring talk Thanks
Saying what I am sure has been said many, many times before, Susan — you consistently provide probably the most human, vulnerable gifting of treasured information available at this time. Deep Mahalos and Aloha from Hawaii. 🙏
George, I thank you! It means a lot to read these words. Thank you again. S
