The House of Inner Tranquillity PodcastAuthor: The House of Inner Tranquillity Podcast
The House of Inner Tranquillity is a Buddhist Insight meditation centre located in south-west England. The centre was established in 1980 for those in search of a practical approach to the Buddha's teaching. Stripped of ritual and cultural accretions, the path is presented in a manner ideally suited to the needs of the modern westerner. Today, just as in the times of the Buddha, someone committed to truth can travel right to the end of the path and realise the goal of enlightenment. Countless talks on all aspects of the Buddha's teaching have been given at the Centre over the years. We have created these weekly podcast programmes as a way to make some of these talks available to a wider audience.

Everyone's situation is unique and contains all the lessonsthey need to learn about suffering and its cessation. As we see moreand more that the unsatisfactory nature of life is fundamentallyirresolvable, the more we are able to let go of craving for it to bedifferent 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
