In the "Agama Sutra", it mentions the eight sufferings of the human world. In fact, it summarizes all the situations in our life. Although it is hard, is there any way to face and transcend?

These eight sufferings are: birth suffering, old suffering, , illness suffering, death suffering, love separation suffering, hatred meeting, meeting suffering, seeking without gain, and the five aggregates are full of pain.

Life suffering - In fact, we came to this world without our own consent, and naturally came to this world. The first thing we did when we were born was to "cry", as if we were reluctant. If you don’t cry, you have to pat your butt a few times and you have to cry.

Old and bitter - especially when people reach middle age, various organs are degenerated: dizzy eyes, tinnitus , legs and feet are not as good as before, with more white hair, and the skin seems to be loosening rapidly.

Suffering illness - Everyone in their life, no matter their age, feels that they are suffering from minor illnesses and serious illnesses. Just like in this "special period", everyone may have to face more than once the cycle of illness recovery, recovery and rehabilitation.

Death pain is also the root cause of most of us fear.

Love and parting pain - the most unforgettable thing for a person is the "family affection". The heart always feels gripping, and the departure of relatives is also the greatest sorrow in life.

Enemies and hates suffering - it is said that enemies do not gather together. In life, it seems that they are completely in line with the law of attraction . The more you dislike the eyes, you will always meet, and more than once.

No suffering can be achieved - everyone has reasonable desires, and there is no doubt that without desires, people cannot survive. But blindly grasping beyond the reasonable range will never end, just like falling into a swamp, the more you want to break free, the deeper you fall, let alone not to break free.

Five aggregates of ignite suffering - Here is a summary of the above seven kinds of sufferings. How did the above suffering come about? That is: form, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness. The " Five aggregates ". Why is it said to be prosperous?

can be compared with "cleanness", Laozi also said: "Calmness is better than impatience, cold is better than heat." The reality is: these "five aggregates" have been magnified many times in our modern times.

color: Three sets of clothes are not enough to change, more sets are needed; four dishes and one soup is not enough, and delicacies are needed to make up for the mountains and seas; 80 square meters of house is not enough to live in, so it is best to have two large villas; there are a little fewer scooters, and it is best to have one car for traveling and adventure purposes for each car.

The same is true for feeling, thinking, doing, and consciousness. They are all in a state of "hot", "dry", and "climbing outward", and are getting more and more intense.

But at the same time, we can see hope and it is also a turning point.

Take this epidemic as an example. In fact, the earth has taught us the best lesson - the three years of epidemic, which has let us know what "impermanence" is and what "the most precious". In fact, the ancient sages are also constantly reminding us that the direction is reversed.

Just like the Doctrine of the Mean mentioned: "To achieve neutrality, heaven and earth are in place, and all things are nurtured." In simple terms, "neutrality" means "peace of mind". It is also like the one mentioned in Taoist " Purification Sutra ": "If people can always be quiet, the world will return." Even Lao Tzu mentioned that "purity is the right thing in the world."

But the richer the material, the more convenient life is, the less we are. In fact, if everyone thinks carefully, they will find that endless pursuit will not bring happiness to themselves, but will instead get deeper and deeper.

In fact, as long as you easily turn the direction back, everything will be different.

So how should we view the "pain" above?

Since these "suffering" are impermanent and unavoidable, why not try to accept them? But this "acceptance" is not about doing whatever you want, nor is it about swallowing your anger, nor is it about complaining about the world. These practices are all about "suffering and suffering".

The "acceptance" here is more of an equal mind, completely believing in the deeper "true self" of life, and believing that everything is the best arrangement. When we can completely accept everything at the level of the "heart" rather than confronting everything, you and I will have a deeper understanding of life.
