Unpacking the Buddha's Second Discourse

What happens when you take a 2,500-year-old teaching and crack it open word by word? You get something that looks less like a dusty scripture and more like a live riddle waiting to trip you up—or wake you up. In Episode 7 of “Unpacking the Buddha’s Second Discourse,” we dive straight into the Buddha’s inquiry: “Are feelings permanent or impermanent?” What did he mean? Why does it matter? And how does this one sentence ripple across all of Buddhist thought? Stick around—because once you start unpacking, the ground under your idea of “self” may never look the same again.
