| | Dharma Talk: The Third Noble Truth, the End of Suffering |
 | | The example given is when a fire goes out -- when even the embers are cooled, when the conflicting emotions are no longer burning us -- this is the cessation of dissatisfaction and suffering, the end of the friction of duality rubbing against itself creating that fire, the friction of attachment. |
