Hello, and welcome to Methods of Contemplation.

In the first turning of the wheel of Dharma, the Buddha lets us in on a secret:

Life, as most of us live it - sucks.

Or put more eloquently, the nature of existence is inextricably intertwined with suffering. Really, he's not telling us something we don't already know. But he does tell us how to get out of it.

And the first step, is to take refuge.
