Buddhism explained - Episode 5 : What Buddhism Really Says About Suffering

<p>What if the greatest suffering in your life is not the pain you experience, but your refusal to feel it?</p><p><br /></p><p>In this episode, we explore a radically different interpretation of the first two Noble Truths, following the teachings of Goon Maeng Seo Jin, as presented in his book I Am Here Now.</p><p><br /></p><p>This teaching draws a sharp distinction between inevitable pain—birth, aging, sickness, death—and pathological suffering, which arises from clinging to the illusion of a pain-free existence.</p><p><br /></p><p>We examine how suffering is not caused by life’s conditions themselves, but by the mind’s refusal to accept them, and how this refusal becomes the true origin of duḥkha.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is Lesson 5 in an ongoing series on the Four Noble Truths, leading toward cessation (nirodha) and the path (mārga).</p>

Buddhism explained - Episode 4 : Is the Present Moment an Illusion?

<p>What if the very way your mind recognizes reality is also what distorts it?</p><p>In this episode of The Deep Dive, we explore the teachings of Venerable Goon Maeng Seo Jin from I Am Here Now, uncovering why our perception of a “present moment” might be one of the mind’s greatest illusions.</p><p>Through Buddhist psychology — the twelve bases, eighteen realms, and five aggregates — we break down how consciousness freezes a constantly changing reality just to make sense of it, and how that subtle act of “freezing” becomes the root of confusion and suffering.</p><p><br /></p><p>Learn why ignorance (Avidyā) isn’t just not-knowing but an active mental function — and how recognizing this can open the way to peace, awareness, and a clearer sense of the real “now.”</p>

Buddhism explained - Episode 3 : Beyond Illusions: Finding the One Absolute Truth

<p>In this chapter of I Am Here Now, we stress-test three “common sense” beliefs and watch them crumble—until a single axiom remains: “I am here now.”</p><p>From this bedrock we derive the first two marks of existence—impermanence (anitya/anityatā) and non-self (anātman)—and see how they synthesize into dependent origination (pratītyasamutpāda). We also examine why modern knowledge often chases results while forgetting foundations, and how re-anchoring inquiry in the here and now can make science, ethics, and everyday life more humane.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you’ll hear</p><p><br /></p><p>Why “the world before/after me” fails as a foundational truth</p><p><br /></p><p>Why the sun’s daily cycle isn’t a sufficient axiom</p><p><br /></p><p>Dream vs. waking: the universality problem</p><p><br /></p><p>The triad of I / here / now as inseparable conditions</p><p><br /></p><p>From analysis to Dharma: anitya, anātman, pratītyasamutpāda</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If this exploration helped, consider following the show and leaving a rating.</p><p>With gratitude to the Venerable Monk Goon Maeng Seo Jin for the teachings in I Am Here Now.</p><p>PS: If you’d like to say thanks, drop a simple “thank you” in your heart—and share this episode with someone who’s asking deeper questions.</p>
