Ajahn Sumedho delves into the Fourth Noble Truth—the path to the end of suffering. Drawing from decades of monastic life and meditation, he reflects on how the Eightfold Path, starting with right understanding, aligns seamlessly with the realization of the "sound of silence." This video explores how living in harmony with the path transforms life into an expression of peace, clarity, and ultimate liberation. "The path begins with silence itself," Ajahn Sumedho shares, inviting us to cultivate mindfulness and step into the Buddha’s timeless teaching.
