In this episode, spiritual director John Bruna offers commentary on the text “How to Meditate on the Stages of the Path.” This talk focuses on the third noble truth, which is the reality that samsara can be healed from the root through the medicine of wisdom. True cessation is the Buddhist promise of complete freedom from suffering and is achieved through the path of awakening. This episode was recorded on August 13th, 2025.
