Confronting Reality: The Dance of Desire and Truth

How can we know what is real and what isn’t? How can we know the best way to live? How can we know what is really true? Can we knowing anything? Buddhism says ‘yes’! And much of what Buddhism is about is guidance on how to find the truth for ourselves through direct experience. In this talk Ajahn Brahm talks about how we can know what is true for sure.
