Cheryl Fraser centers her Dharma Talk on the three characteristics of existence—impermanence, dukkha, and not-self—and explains how these realities shape daily experience. She guides a breath meditation, offering practical instructions on where to focus the breath and how to handle distractions, followed by a discussion of how clinging to a solid self creates additional suffering. The talk then ties these ideas to everyday life, inviting a reframing that life happens for us and that identities are provisional, which can reduce reactivity in relationships and open space for calm and insight.
