    Buddhism believes that everything in the world is suffering, and the so-called happiness is only a temporary relief of suffering, and the essence of everything in the world is suffering. Joy is just an illusion. Because all existence in the world is impermanent, all in the process of birth, old age, sickness and death, becoming dwelling, destroying and emptiness, it is unstable, there is no master and no one to rely on, and can only be accepted helplessly, this is the sad thing about life.

    The pleasures and pains of ordinary people are impermanent and cannot be eternal. So Buddhism.

    The purpose of our practice is to free us from the sea of impermanent suffering and pursue eternal happiness and freedom.

    The three "unattainables" of the past, the present, and the future are truly expounding the emptiness of things. Some people say that this kind of "unattainable" high balance god is because things do not exist in the first place, and the scum is that there is nothing to obtain, so it is empty. In addition, the things we see are all karmic combinations, so they are also empty, and in the end they return to the void, and they do not exist.

    Everyone wants to be happy, happier, and happier. In other words, man's pursuit of happiness is endless. However, it is precisely this mentality of endless pursuit of happiness that is the ** of human suffering.

    Life and suffering are inescapable realities for human beings.

    First, we need to understand that life is impermanent. There is a sentence in the "Diamond Sutra": "All things have a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such."

    This quote tells us that all things are ephemeral and that nothing is eternal and unchanging. Therefore, when we are faced with the choice of prolonging life or alleviating suffering, we need to take into account the impermanence of life.

    Secondly, there is a sentence in the Sutra of Samsara that says, "All sentient beings are born and destroyed by karma, and karma is not empty." This means that our actions will produce corresponding consequences, both good and bad.

    Therefore, when we are faced with a choice, we need to take into account the relationship between our actions and karma.

    To sum up, I think the best option is to learn to accept the impermanence of life and suffering, and reduce your negative karma through good deeds and mindfulness. We can't control the length of life, but we can control our actions and thoughts. It is only through continuous practice and hard work that we can gradually break free from the shackles of suffering and gain inner peace and freedom.

    The wisdom and teachings of Buddhism can help us better face life and suffering, and allow us to move forward more calmly.

    Buddhism learns the eight sufferings.

    Being born in the world is inevitably painful.

    Love parting: The people and things we love are always far away from us. Lovers break up, missing children, pets die young, and so on.

    Resentment will: Contrary to love, the more people and things we hate, the more around us. Especially the people who are hated are always assigned to the same unit; Annoying classmates often sit next to each other, bitter!

    Can't ask for it: if you want money, you don't have money, you don't want people, as long as you want it, you can't get it; I don't want it, but I can't get rid of it.

    The five aggregates are flourishing: The so-called five aggregates are lust, receiving, thinking, acting, knowing, many feelings, troubles, worrying about the sky, insomnia at night, frightened and frightened, screaming and so on.

    These eight sufferings cannot be avoided by mortals, no matter how big his career is or how high his position is, all of them are troubled and suffering. From the big to the poor, the essence of the troubles is basically the same. 2,500 years ago, Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, telling us that we must take suffering as a teacher, and only by being free from suffering can we be happy.

    That is, knowing the meaning of the eight sufferings, the next step should be to observe that the eight sufferings are not real, but are all caused by karma. All the pain and happiness come from your own heart. Personally, I believe that there is no need to escape the suffering and happiness that should be suffered, and let it be.

    And always having the word "alert" in the heart is enough to be able to control and release freely in pain and happiness.

    What is happiness?

    Everybody wants to be happy from suffering, but 'What is true happiness?'

    Some pleasures are "self-righteous" pleasures; Some happiness is sweet and then bitter, and after all, there is a leak' (in vain).

    Many people have this experience, and they feel very comfortable running into the open space and shouting at the sky, and some people feel very comfortable jumping disco, and after a while, they feel very comfortable, but "this is not true happiness." Think about it: a great monk of the Yuan Dynasty, 'Does he need to use this method?' Because we are often under pressure, or we are concerned about something, and we are often not in a good mood, we need to balance it often, and some people go to play ball, and some people go out for a walk in the countryside, which is not bad, but some people use bad habits such as gambling and alcohol to balance it, and they get deeper and deeper

    Personally, I think that true happiness is like climbing to the top of a mountain, sitting there very comfortably, very relaxed, (forgetting all the humiliations) (being clear), and it is a faint joy (not rich and greasy), and I think that as long as the mind is not in a state of peace, then it is not true happiness, then it may just be the venting of desire, but the difference is in the big vent or the small vent

    Just like the difference between the sound of the music and the classical Chinese music or Buddhist music chant, what kind of happiness do you seek?

    The enlightened person has more pleasures than the enlightened person, such as drinking water, which is warm and cold, and when you do it, you will naturally know

    The landlord asked what a good question.

    That's why the Buddha said: Stay in peace and happiness wherever you live.

    --The Sixth Patriarch Master's Dharma Treasure Altar Sutra The third doubt is that I think it should be "every day is a good day, and every time is a good time", and I am happy everywhere.

    Empty. will be autonomous.

    And be happy. Happiness is a feeling of the heart.

    It's just that ordinary people can't control it, because people's hearts are full of too many things, like many carriages rushing in different directions.

    I explained it myself by feeling. Equal to the guidance of the highest.

    The Buddha smiled. Not for the sake of gain, but for the sake of contentment.

    The world is happy when it is gained, and bitter when it is lost. In fact, happiness is very simple, it is not necessary to get something, but to be content with yourself.

    During pregnancy, especially when women enter the stage of labor, they are prone to become anxious. At this time, many people will also relieve their mood by watching some books or **, TV series, etc. Sometimes you will see some sentences that make people think deeply, and some of the popular Buddhist words on the Internet are easy to make people think for a long time.

    For example, what did the Buddha say about the root of suffering, and what is the most painful thing in life?

    Birth, old age, sickness, and death are known as the four sufferings of life, and everything in birth, old age, sickness and death is painful, but there are four things that are more painful than birth, old age, sickness and death, and they are also the root of the Buddha's suffering, that is, not knowing life, not knowing old age, not knowing sickness, and not knowing death. Although birth, old age, sickness and death are painful, the degree of pain that everyone feels when facing these four things is very different, and the reason is that most people do not know the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death, so once they encounter these four things, they will be even more painful. If we can know in advance that we are mentally prepared for these sufferings, the degree of suffering we feel when it comes, and the most painful thing in life is not knowing where the pain comes from.

    If you want to alleviate the pain you suffer in each of them, you will learn to anticipate the degree of pain of each thing and be mentally prepared in advance, so that you will not feel so painful when you experience painful things.
