Elaborate on the eight sufferings of life: Buddhism through the eyes of the world

In the past few days, I don't know what I'm busy with, and I'm a little cold about this piece of land (referring to my blog). The snub is the snub, and I will come up every day to see it.

The farmer cultivates the garden as a child, and always cares about it. Sick and painful, although he can't do it, he will go to the edge of the field for a walk.

I once wrote a poem with a sentence: "Rice planting in spring, harvesting rice in autumn." Mr. Liu, who wants to help the cultivator. It is the yearning for the Tian family's spring planting and autumn harvest, quiet and natural life. Why is there such a yearning? It is because I know a little about farming, so I can understand the feelings of croppers for the fields and seedlings. Is this yearning from the heart? If I were to work in the fields, how long would I last? My answer: I don't know. This is the contradiction in my heart, and it is the war between heaven and man. Besides, the Tian family, is he really that happy? Not necessarily. The Tian family has the joys of the Tian family, but also has many sufferings.

The contradictory me, the Tian family who alternates bitterness and happiness, will have troubles.

Troubles arise, and so does suffering.

This is called life.

Buddhists have a thorough view of life, and classify the sufferings of life, calling them "seven sufferings" or "eight sufferings". What are the seven sufferings? It is the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of sickness, the suffering of death, the suffering of love and separation, the suffering of resentment, and the suffering of not begging. What about the eight sufferings? It is to add another five yin blazing bitterness after the seven sufferings.

Below, in my layman's opinion, I will carefully describe the eight sufferings of life.

Bitterness. It can also be divided into the suffering of conception, the suffering of seeds, the suffering of growth, and the suffering of birth.

If life is divided into stages such as pregnancy, childbirth, growth, aging, and death, then the suffering of life is from conception to the period of croaking and falling.

First of all, it is important to know that the "birth" suffering of Buddhism is not the "birth" of "long life", but the "birth" of "birth" or "birth" of "production".

Secondly, in my opinion, the so-called "suffering" here is just wishful thinking on the part of Buddhism. Actually, this suffering is not suffering at all. Why? The ancients called human adulthood, which is made by "the blood of the father and the mother". When the mother conceives, the one who suffers is in the mother, not in the baby.

After the mother is conceived, the mother must suffer from pregnancy reactions, immobility, abdominal pain in labor, fetal birth...... all kinds of suffering. Buddhism is said to be bitter, saying that the baby does not speak of the mother, and it is foolish to think that there is a suspicion of putting the cart before the horse.

Third, the Buddhist understanding of suffering seems to be based entirely on the assumptions of adults. The so-called torment of Buddhism in the mother's womb before giving birth is difficult to understand.

There may be the pain of another birth. However, the baby falls into the grass, it is still ignorant, even if there is suffering, it is difficult to understand, it is difficult to form the body, and it is not remembered in the heart. Using this kind of "life suffering" with no memory and vague perception to illustrate that life is a sea of suffering, its strength is a little weak.

Therefore, it seems that suffering can be ignored.

Old bitterness. Buddhists say that there are two kinds of suffering: one is growth; Both perish.

In the midst of birth and suffering, there is also the term "growth", which refers to the process of growth in the mother's body after conception. In the midst of old suffering, the growth of the clouds is actually the process of aging. This so-called suffering of growth refers to the suffering of declining energy, loss of luxury, and inconvenience, and this suffering is produced by comparison with the time of youth. In fact, it is a natural process, so if you only compare and feel this suffering, you will also be troubled.

The so-called "extinction" is not far from growth, that is, "prosperity and decline, spiritual depletion, and its life is shortened day by day, and it gradually decays".

Sickness and suffering. This bitter Buddha family is very deserved. It is called a physical illness and a mental illness.

Although Buddhism should distinguish between sickness and suffering, it is not accurate. Buddhism's theory of physical illness and mental illness separates the two from life, and it seems that there is no connection between the two. Sickness arises from the body and acts in the heart; There are also those who come out of their own hearts and bring disaster to their bodies. The mortal body is related to the body and mind, so there is no reason that the body and mind are not related.

Illness is a great hardship in life. Minor illnesses and small pains, people can't bear it, and what about incurable diseases? I can't live, I can't die, I suffer every day, I feel physical and mental pain, it's hard to bear!

The so-called heart disease, which Buddhists call distress and sorrow, is the reason why things do not go well. This may be a small suffering.

Death is bitter. The so-called death and suffering, Buddhism is not called death by illness and death.

The suffering of illness and death lies in the physical pain before death and the mental fear before death. This natural death.

Horizontal death refers to the suffering of water and fire, swords, horses, car injuries, hanging beams, poisoning, etc., the so-called "blood and heart". This is not a natural death.

Death can be described as bitter, one is in the attitude towards death, and the other is in the process of death.

If you see life and death thoroughly, and regard death as attribution to the house, then your heart will not be afraid of death, and the suffering of death can be reduced.

The process of death, whether it is death from illness or death, as long as it is short, the suffering will be reduced, and if it is long, it will indeed be suffering.

Love and parting from suffering. There is a saying in China that says, "May all lovers in the world become dependents". However, from ancient times to the present, the tragedy of beating mandarin ducks and Lao Yan flying separately has never stopped staging. People who love each other can't be together, and emotional pain is the most heartbreaking.

Love parting, literally, is to love each other deeply but part. That is, there is fate to produce emotions, but there is no fate to stay together. You are right to understand it this way, but you have narrowed down the love of Buddhism.

Buddhism's saying "love and separation" is "the most dearest person, the most happy thing, but obediently separated, not allowed to coexist, the heart and mind longing for sorrow", so it is bitter.

Love parting, this love, is great love, including family love, love love, friendship love; This love can be person-to-person or person-to-thing.

In the bitterness of love and separation, what people associate with at first sight is naturally the suffering of lovers who love and leave each other.

Love and parting can be described as poignant. Because there is no end, there is no follow-up and there is a huge space for imagination, and the plot that has not been staged in reality can be interpreted in the form of fantasy, fantasy, and dream, and in most cases, it will be conceived in the direction of perfection.

In fact, as far as love is concerned, it is not a good thing to love and part. When you face life in the turmoil of firewood, rice, oil and salt, many things take a back seat. Reality sometimes tears beautiful things to shreds, and reality also makes people see piles and rows of lice crawling on that gorgeous robe. Do you want to be fascinated by it, you once didn't think about it, you didn't want to eat, you once betrayed your relatives for it, and you used to accompany all the youthful emotions to fade and disappear in the washing of years and the trivialities of reality?

Those who have been loved and parted with suffering, they will love each other - parting treasured, turn it out at any time, taste it carefully, appreciate it slowly, don't be sad about it, don't cry because of it, you know, what you don't get is always the most beautiful.

Only by suffering can we realize life. Buddhism is bitter and makes all beings afraid. If sentient beings do not go through this suffering, how can they participate in life and get out of the red dust?

Resentment can be bitter. As the saying goes: "It's not that enemies don't get together", it can be seen that in the dark, God has arranged everything. Perhaps, you think this is fate, but many times, reality is not a true interpretation of fate. For thousands of years, people have been summing up their lives and lives. There is a saying that "husband and wife are enemies in the previous life, and father and son are enemies in the previous life". That's the sum of life, don't you think? In my opinion, there is some truth to this.

In life, many things are like this, what you don't want to see, he is dangling in front of your eyes; What you think about for a long time, he is often separated from you. Missing, nostalgia may be a little sad, sometimes silently savoring, but it is a beautiful scenery in life. Hatred is different, hurting the body and hurting the heart. Buddhism says that "resentment and hatred" is the suffering of ordinary people, and it has some insight and some vision.

The person you usually hate the most, hate, and resent, of course, you want to never see it. However, life doesn't go your way, that person is not only you can see, but also always around, how long can you endure it?

The meeting of resentment, the first evil is the husband and wife resentment meeting. The couple of mandarin ducks is admired by everyone, but there is a kind of husband and wife in the world, and the two have sins like in their previous lives: harmony, harmony, separation, separation. The suffering of life is nothing greater than this. In the world, there are all kinds of bonds, even if today's marriage is free, and it is not necessarily that the husband and wife who resented the society will be able to get out of the cage. That's why I thought it was the first evil.

Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters also have resentments. However, because of family affection, it can also be resolved. In the human world, there are all kinds of things, and those who have annihilated their conscience are not on the list.

Among colleagues, those who resent the club are mostly due to utilitarianism. The solution to this is in two words - "open-minded". If you can do it, don't be troubled by it; If you can't do it, you will also find trouble, but you don't care about him.

If there is a deep hatred and hatred, the resentment will meet, and the life will be evil.

Resentment will be bitter, in the final analysis, it is also bitterness. If you want to get rid of this suffering, you must first go to lust. Haha, how many ordinary people can have lust? This suffering is terrible for the love of the world.

Don't be bitter. I talked about the pain of resentment and hatred, and the pain of love and separation. Literally, the parting of love and resentment can be described as dialectical. The things of this world are like this, deep love and heaven is separated, resentment and shadow. In fact, in my opinion, in a narrow sense, love and parting can also be classified as unseeking, what you love, you always want to get, and in reality, you often can't get it, and you can't ask for it.

The so-called inability of Buddhism refers to "all things, all things, all learning, and all wisdom in the world, which are sought for by the best of the world, but cannot be obtained", which leads to "love and salivation, infatuation, and anxiety in the heart", so it is called suffering.

Speaking of which, we can make a summary, the four major sufferings of birth, old age, sickness, and death all arise from nature, and there is no one who lives without suffering from these four kinds of suffering. Even if you live in the Buddha Gate, you can't hide from it, you can only endure it for life. Those who hope to recite the Buddha in this life, devote themselves to cultivation, and wait for them to become immortals and become Buddhas, and only then can they be liberated when they get rid of their physical bodies. However, life is short, and it may be too late to enjoy it, who can endure the suffering. Besides, even if you can endure the suffering, you will not be able to escape these four sufferings in this life, and hope for the next life, or the more distant unknown, where can you wait for those who are as ordinary as me?

Love is not bitter, resentment will be bitter, and it is not bitter, these three sufferings are all born by love, and the way to save them is in the word "few desires". Easier said than done. Happiness and enmity are the envy of many people. In my opinion, "few desires" are not necessary, there are gratitudes to repay gratitude, there are grievances to complain, who doesn't want to be suitable in life? It is to become a Buddha and become an immortal, without going through these three sufferings, how to participate in the world?

The five yin are blazing and bitter. This suffering is actually a summary of the seven sufferings. The five yin are also the ones who see, receive, think, act, and know. Those who are colored can see as far as the eye can see; The receiver, the perception of the heart; Thinking, what the brain thinks about, what the body moves, what the body thinks, and what the mind thinks. Seeing the color and being confused, this color is not only a woman's color, the so-called "blinding person"; The heart suffers from joy and suffering, and sighs of obedience and disobedience; In case of urgency, repeatedly speculate; What the body moves, the heart pulls; Is it confused or awake, who has discernment? The sufferings of life are all in the yes. The five yin are blazing, and the cause of suffering is also.

The eight hardships of life are detailed here. Those who talk in detail also joke about it. Laugh!
