Why Your Mind Never Finds Lasting Peace | The Buddha’s Path Beyond Pleasure and Pain

About this video: Most people spend their lives chasing pleasure, avoiding pain, and searching for happiness in the outside world. But according to the Buddha, true peace is discovered in a completely different way. In this discourse from the Kūṭadanta Sutta (Dīgha Nikāya 5), the Blessed One explains the progressive development of deep meditation, from the first jhāna to the fourth jhāna, revealing how the mind becomes purified, concentrated, and free from agitation. He uses powerful similes—a saturated lake, lotus flowers immersed in cool water, a person covered by a pure white cloth, and a flawless beryl gem—to illustrate the profound happiness, equanimity, and clarity that arise through meditation. The teaching culminates in insight wisdom: seeing the body as impermanent, conditioned, and subject to decay while understanding the relationship between mind and body as they truly are. This Dhamma talk explores meditation, mindfulness, inner peace, concentration, insight, impermanence, and the Buddha’s practical path toward liberation from suffering. #Buddhism #Dhamma #Meditation #InnerPeace #TheravadaBuddhism Subscribe for more Sutta teachings:    / @buddhasteachings-sp   🙏 Support the Dhamma: paypal.me/buddhasteachings
