Dalai Lama, the Four Noble Truths

We have just started to re-examine the Four Noble Truths on our Dharma Studies page and I have found these two talks by the Dalai Lama as a primer, they are rather long.

Noah Levine on Buddhism

Following the trend of many self-destructive youths, Noah Levine's search for meaning first led him to punk rock, drugs, drinking and dissatisfaction. Luckily, however, his search didn't end there. Having clearly seen the uselessness of drugs and violence, Noah looked for positive ways to channel his rebellion against what he saw as lies in society.

Author of "Dharma Punx" and "Against the Stream," Levine is now a Buddhist teacher, author and counselor.

At USC on Oct. 29, 2009, he talked about how he fueled his anger and energy into the practice of Buddhism to awaken his natural wisdom and compassion.
