The details of this discussion include mindfulness meditation practiced at New Mountain, the interconnection between happiness and suffering, and the importance of recognizing suffering to achieve happiness. The deep understanding of this interdependence is based on the Buddha’s teachings and the Four Noble Truths: suffering, its causes, the cessation of suffering, and the path to well-being. Cultivating mindfulness and concentration allows us to transform suffering and touch our true nature.
