In this evening’s talk, Soryu considers the first noble truth, the presence of suffering, problems, and societal insanity. Soryu tells a story that addresses the relationship between morality and wisdom. In our practice and life, we can establish a positive feedback loop between morality and wisdom; this is what helps us face, understand, and overcome suffering.
In this talk, Soryu mentions the name Somadanda. This was an error; the name of this person was Soṇadaṇḍa. You can read more about him in the Soṇadaṇḍa Sutta, DN 4.
