How Buddha Solved Life | His Greatest Teaching

Buddha's greatest discovery - Dependent Origination - reveals the profound mechanics of life, suffering, and liberation. This essential doctrine shows how all experiences arise from interdependent causes and conditions, unraveling the roots of our struggles and pointing to the path of ultimate freedom. In this video, we break down the 12 links of human existence and their deep implications for our understanding of self and reality. #buddha #buddhism #philosophy #enlightenment #dharma #dhamma
