In his first sermon at Deer Park, the historical Buddha introduced the Four Noble Truths: the existence of suffering (dukkha), the cause of suffering (karma), the cessation of suffering, and the path leading to this cessation. This collection features lectures by His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama delivered in 1997 in England, marking a significant event that united a diverse audience for over six hours of engaging discourse on these essential Buddhist teachings. His Holiness showcases his impressive intellect and scholarship while also revealing his playful humor and compassion. The first tape lays the groundwork for discussing the Four Truths, emphasizing critical insight into perceptions of reality and the significance of the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha). The second tape delves into the First Truth, exploring the roots of suffering through Buddhist cosmology and contemporary physics, ultimately attributing it to human ignorance of the transient nature of pleasure. The third tape analyzes the causes of suffering, highlighting the importance of emotional training to overcome afflictive emotions. The final tape discusses the Eight-Fold Path, stressing the cultivation of bodhichitta and the interconnectedness of all beings. It emphasizes commitment to meditation and determination on the path to enlightenment. The videos also feature audience reactions, including appearances by notable figures, and include introduction
