Why do we suffer even when we’re doing everything “right”? In this conversation, Danielle and the St. Louis sangha reflect on craving, aversion, and delusion — and why they keep us stuck in cycles of dissatisfaction. From the middle way to Buddhism’s love of lists, we explore how practice helps us feel more content by accepting life as it is.
