“People know they are lacking something, they are constantly wanting some kind of spiritual guidance.”
—Douglas Hurd
When the Buddha said that life is dukkha – “unsatisfactoriness” – perhaps this is what he meant: that vague feeling that there’s something fundamental missing from our lives. For those of us who perceive that void, a spiritual practice is the most “satisfying” way to fill it.
