In Buddhist scriptures, people have three great sufferings. What are these three great sufferings?

It's eight bitterness. According to the Buddhist cloud, there are eight hardships in life, namely, the bitterness of life, the bitterness of old age, the bitterness of illness, the bitterness of death, the bitterness of love, the bitterness of parting, the bitterness of resentment, the bitterness of not seeking, and the bitterness of five yin.

First, suffering: many people forget the suffering of birth. In fact, it goes without saying that at the time of birth, a baby of six pounds and eight pounds passed through a narrow birth door, and that feeling could not be expressed in words. After leaving the mother's body, it is more painful to be stimulated by external heat or cold air and caught by the midwife's huge palm than to whip the baby's delicate skin. The crying after the baby is born is caused by physical pain.

Second, the old bitterness: the Tang Dynasty poem says: "Fair world is only white hair, and the nobles are not spared." Getting old is inevitable for anyone. Han Yu offered a sacrifice to Lang Yunwen, the twelfth man: "Although I am not forty years old, my face is pale and my teeth are shaking." Forty years old is too early. However, even if you are gifted or have learning skills, the above phenomenon will always happen at the age of 70 or 80. What's more, decades of hard work, in addition to the decline of physiological function, the back pain, rheumatic stomach disease and so on brought by hard work in the past are unbearable pains. As for women, aging is even more cruel, because in addition to physical pain, women also have psychological pain of losing their youth. From the bright eyes and white teeth, the whole country is beautiful, but the goose skin and crane hair are old, which makes people feel sorry, but who can escape this old routine?

Third, illness: people have an indissoluble bond with illness since the day they fell to the ground. Teenagers have diseases such as smallpox and measles, middle-aged people have diseases such as gastric ulcer and tuberculosis, and old people have diseases such as hypertension and heart disease. Some people may say, as long as you have money, why worry about treating diseases? In fact, specific drugs are constantly emerging, and new diseases, such as polio and cancer, have also increased in recent years. Furthermore, medicine can treat physical diseases, but can Maifanshi treat mental diseases such as neurasthenia, schizophrenia, paranoia and mania caused by intense social competition?

It is inevitable that there will be cold and hot chaos in the original four fake bodies. When they are sick, they will lie in the hospital bed and suffer short-term pain. If they linger in hospital beds for years and deal with drugs every day, how can they describe this pain?

Suffering from death: the life of machines made of steel is only a few years to decades. How long can a flesh-and-blood person last? Qin Huang and Wu Han's quest for the elixir of life has left only the laughingstock of the ages. Cover the universe, live and die, and go on and on. Life is death, success is bad, Farr is like this, and Ann is an exception? According to the Buddhist scriptures, if you don't think about heaven, you will live a long life of 84 thousand, but the newspaper will still degenerate and you can't get out of the six divisions in the wheel of karma.

In that case, it is not surprising that people are dead! Helpless, "after death, one's ambition is unfulfilled", and every deceased person has his unfulfilled ambition, so many people in the world die unsatisfied, suffering from physical and mental pain, four major separations, breathing difficulties, and a thousand words in their hearts, unable to say a word. At this time, the charming child, surrounded by the couch, left life and death, which was terrible, especially when he was dying. Everything he did in his life, good and evil, was reflected in his mind one by one. For the kind and innocent people, they will feel gratified and peaceful, while for the evil and conscientious people, they will feel regret, pain and terror. At this time, because of pain and terror, they were summoned to meet in hell, and the gods were dragged by karma and fell into evil ways. What is more painful than the so-called "nothing can be taken away, only karma is with me"?

5. Love leaves bitterness: As the saying goes, "Being happy is learning new things happily, and being sad is learning new things sadly." Life and death parting, human tragedy, the loss of a young man's spouse, and the loss of a child in middle age are of course extremely sad. Even if it is not life and death parting, or seeking food and clothing, or forced by circumstances, it will be painful to leave a life that loves each other. However, everything must come to an end. As close as father and son, as close as husband and wife, it is rare to be together for a lifetime, let alone anything else. All laws are impermanent, and the pain of parting is inevitable for anyone.

Sixth, resentment will be bitter: compared with love parting, resentment will be bitter. A congenial friend, a lover who vows eternal love, a couple who love each other deeply, or a child who is trying to live under his knees, or parting, nothing can be independent. But on the contrary, those ugly faces and boring language; It's still a conflict of interest, and two people who are incompatible with each other get together again. Like these disgusting people, if they can't see for life, won't their eyes be clean? However, personnel problems in society are complicated. "People who don't hate each other will not be together." In some cases, the more people who hate each other, the more they are arranged together, as if there is no more time to disperse. Isn't this extremely distressing?

Seven, nothing: what you want, economic power can't reach; I want to seek a position, but I can't find it. A man falls in love with B woman, but B woman prefers C man. My interest is to be an elite in the computer industry, but in order to eat, I have to work as a waiter in an Internet cafe. These are hard to ask for. Dont Ask For Help, even if the first wish is obtained, the second wish will be born at once. The valley is easy to fill, but the human desire is difficult to level. Who will feel satisfied with everything? If you are not satisfied, you want something, but you can't get it. Aren't you sad?

Eight, the five yin are full of bitterness: the five yin are five aggregates, and the five yin are integrated into one. If the fire is blazing, the first seven pains will arise from it. Excessive color and yin, four major disorders and disharmony, and the pain of illness. Suffering from yin exuberance, receiving and receiving separately, makes all kinds of sufferings go to extremes: I want yin exuberance, I want to pursue each other, but I have lust separation, I hate meeting, and I have nothing to ask for. Yin is abundant, which creates all kinds of industries, which is the cause of later reporting. It is constantly moving because of the line and has the pain of old age. Knowing yin is abundant, confusing and creating a career, three generations of cycles, there is a pain of life and death.

Sometimes in Buddhism, bitterness is divided into three categories: bitterness, bad bitterness and bitterness.

Suffering: it is the pain we feel in life. Even if it is not pointed out in the Buddhist scriptures, we still think it is bitter. This includes the pain of birth, the pain of aging, the pain of pathological changes and the pain of death. Love is caused by social environment: that is, dear people can't be together; Nothing: what you ask can't be realized; Resentment can be bitter: complaining about the narrow road at home, but not looking up. And the five aggregates are bitter: the pain of physical and mental imbalance.

Bitterness: refers to our usual feeling of happiness. According to the wisdom of Buddhism, what we call happiness is integrated.

Unreal happiness is also painful in nature. For example, we want to eat when we are hungry, and feel happy when we are full.

But if you keep eating, will you still feel happy? When my body is dirty, I feel very happy in the shower, but I stay in the water for a long time.

Do you feel happy in the pool? I feel very happy watching TV when I am bored, but do you feel happy watching TV day and night?

This shows that our so-called happiness is because we have a certain desire to stimulate through the external environment.

Satisfy the temporary psychological balance, so we feel happy, but the essence of eating is not happiness, if

If the essence of eating is happiness, then no matter how much we eat, we should feel happy. However, this is not the case. When we eat,

When you have a strong desire to eat steamed bread, you will feel happy if you eat one, two or three, and you will feel happy if you eat four, five or six.

At this time, you will find that the original happiness has turned into pain. Eating is like this, everything in the world is over.

The happiness obtained through desire is the same, because this kind of happiness will go bad, so it is called bad bitterness.

Bitterness: Bitterness means moving the flow and changing the mind. Everything in the world is impermanent, which is the law of universal life.

But the world doesn't know this law and pursues eternity: I hope my body will last forever, my family will last forever, my marriage will last forever, and my career will last forever.

Constant, eternal interpersonal relationship, eternal love, in fact, there is nothing eternal in the world, everything is impermanent and beautiful.

Good things are often short-lived and fleeting. Because of our understanding and the facts of the world-line and phase

Violation of the rules, so there is suffering.

In short, everything in the world is bitter.
