In this 2 minute skype video, Elizabeth explains to Erric how we can understand reality just by wrestling with basic questions that we all have: "What is the basis of suffering? What causes happiness?"

Part one of Erric and Elizabeth's conversation, "Compassion is Expanding the View of the Self", can be found by clicking here.
