about

Dukkha

Suffering comes in many forms. Three obvious kinds of suffering correspond to the first three sights the Buddha saw on his first journey outside his palace: old age, sickness and death.

But according to the Buddha, the problem of suffering goes much deeper. Life is not ideal: it frequently fails to live up to our expectations.

Human beings are subject to desires and cravings, but even when we are able to satisfy these desires, the satisfaction is only temporary. Pleasure does not last; or if it does, it becomes monotonous.

Even when we are not suffering from outward causes like illness or bereavement, we are unfulfilled, unsatisfied. This is the truth of suffering.

Some people who encounter this teaching may find it pessimistic. Buddhists find it neither optimistic nor pessimistic, but realistic. Fortunately the Buddha's teachings do not end with suffering; rather, they go on to tell us what we can do about it and how to end it.

lyrics

Do it yourself or it won't be done
Leisured Mind, not all right
Be thankful of others on your side

Really
shaking
Hardly
walk

Into
lying
Cannot
talk

Meet strangers without prejudice
your supposed to listen, do not talk
Every dog has his day

Really
shaking
Hardly
walk

Into
lying
Cannot
Talk

So I try a prescription, but it won´t arrive
Monopoly of reason
