September 2022 - Lion's Roar

In this exciting issue of Lion’s Roar, we ask a provocative question:
Is Buddhism the world’s first and best form of self help?

We believe the answer is yes.

Buddhist teachers Robert Waldinger and Gaylon Ferguson dive into the Buddha’s four noble truths and explain why letting go of our mistaken view of self leads to less suffering and more happiness for ourselves and others.

Plus: Editor-in-chief Melvin McLeod looks at why the four noble truths are not only the ultimate self-help formula but a powerful way to understand and lessen suffering in society.
