In Gautama’s view, we are never free from difficulty. Really, the first noble truth could be translated as “life is difficulty.” Given that premise, Gautama’s teachings always show us how to create ease for ourselves in the midst of this tense, difficult world. And his prescribed method, meditation, enables us slowly to unbind ourselves from the trouble-making effects of infatuation, hostility, and delusion. If we take Gautama’s word that each of his teachings contains the flavor of the whole ― as every drop of the ocean’s water contains the taste of salt ― then it might not be an exaggeration to claim that “Quenched” and “Destination” are saturated with the whole of his dharma.#
