The Four Noble Truths

When Gautama Buddha, he did all these yogic purification practices. Finally, one night he was sitting under the Bodhi tree and he got enlightened. He said, look, I can't tell anybody else how to do this. All I can do is create conditions and they got to do it for themselves. Which is basically his teaching. Go do it for yourself. It's like this culture which worships youth. And when you get old, you're supposed to play shuffleboard and be irrelevant. We have thrown away in the way we have been a hunting tribe that has made aging irrelevant. The minute I accepted what I was, the suffering disappeared.
