On the Uposatha night, a sick Tahn Pamutto gives a reflection on how we can come to understand the ups and downs of life in a buddhist context. We do this by considering the four noble truths, and specifically cultivating the ‘duty’ to each of these truths.
Suffering is to be understood, Craving is to be Abandoned, Nibbāna is to be realized, and the Path is to be cultivated. Knowing this much, we can find the right relationship to anything that we might experience.
