What are the eight pains of Buddhism?

Suffering: everyone has suffered, but they just forget it. As far as human beings are concerned, as soon as the fetus is born, it will experience the pain of childbirth, and the mother will suffer and the baby will suffer. This is known to everyone who is a mother, so the baby cries when he is born, which is very miserable;

Old bitterness: our body and mind are weak and decadent, giving birth to all kinds of suffering, aging, and slowly disobedience is useless; And our hearts are getting weaker and weaker, our thinking is getting slower and slower, and everything is not as good as people, so we feel very painful;

Sickness: four major disorders of the body, full of diseases, so bitter;

Death is bitter: we enjoy life, or die of illness, or die of natural and man-made disasters. At the end of life, the sight of death is unbearable and the heart of terror arises spontaneously. Some people turn blue with fear when they die, and they die horribly. Some people don't want to die when they are dead, and they hold hands tightly. If one day you find that your hands can't move, it will be very painful;

Resentment can be bitter: you can't avoid enemies, and you often meet each other. This is called resentment.

Love is bitter: it is bitter to be separated from the closest person and the person you love.

We use various methods and means to get what we like or lofty ideals, but we still can't get results. This is called making something out of nothing.

Suffering from the five senses: we are obsessed with the five senses (that is, the aggregation of color, reception, thinking, behavior and knowledge), which is the so-called five senses.

Extended data:

Buddhism has many classifications of suffering. In addition to the common eight bitterness, there are three bitterness: bitterness, bitterness and bad bitterness. In Sanskrit, bitter duhkha is a combination of prefix dus (misfortune) and stem kha (fate). Apart from unfortunate fate, duhkha literally means unsatisfied and incomplete. In other words, the so-called bitterness is an imperfect state. Whether it is desirable or otherwise, it is in this state. Four noble truths, the fundamental teachings of Buddhism, are as follows: suffering begins to destroy Tao, that is, through knowing suffering (suffering truths), knowing the causes of suffering (gathering truths) and practicing to eliminate suffering (Tao truths), we can achieve the state of completely eliminating suffering (eliminating truths).
