The Buddha said:
People have eight sufferings: birth is suffering, old age is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering, resentment is suffering, separation from love is suffering, not wanting is suffering, and the five aggregates are suffering. Only when the body and mind are emptied can a person escape from difficulties. If difficulties leave the body, all disasters will turn into dust. We mortals cannot escape the eight sufferings, so we fall into the hell of reincarnation.
Zen said
There are eight kinds of happiness in life
The first happiness is happiness. Because of life, we have all the scenery in life, so survival itself is happiness! The first cry in life is not sadness, but tears of joy. We thank the Creator for giving us the opportunity to experience the joy of life! What a difficult thing it is! It took only one chance in a few hundred million to make me!
The second music - old music. Because we are old, we cherish our youth, cherish every age, and every day of every age! We are not afraid of old age, but have fun in old age and accumulate the wealth of life! Being old is not bitter, but joyful! You can enjoy the warm sunshine, leisure time, and leisurely life, all of which are accompanied by beauty and happiness. Why is it suffering?
The third happiness - the happiness of illness. Nowadays, the pace of life is so fast, the things we pursue are becoming more and more tacky, and humans should pay the price for this. Therefore, the Creator specially arranges for us to be sick, so that we can have the opportunity and time to reflect on our life pursuits, reflect on our actions, and take a short break for a better tomorrow. Shouldn't this be a complaint?
The fourth joy - the joy of death. Because of death, we will cherish every minute of our lives and not waste our time or waste our lives. Everyone can get not only an epitaph name after death, but also regret, remembrance and respect...
The fifth joy - gathering with love. Parting is always inevitable, but parting is for the sake of getting together next time! Life needs spices, the more the more interesting it is! Why not come and experience it?
The sixth joy - not having fun. You can always get what you want, will you still cherish it? Will you still work hard? Do you still expect it? Is it still interesting? In fact, it is precisely because there is something that cannot be obtained that talents will always pursue, and the process of pursuit is worthy of pride and aftertaste! Whether you get it or not, sometimes you feel that it is not so important...
The seventh joy - joy, resentment and hatred. People have seven emotions and six desires. The more emotions and feelings we have, the more we are alive. We can experience love and hate. It is not a bad thing to make love and hate clear! No love, no desire, no pursuit, no hatred, but it is suffering! Be willing to hate and complain, let go of your heart, be ourselves, and show your personality! What's not beautiful about this?
The eighth happiness - experience the five yin.
In life, we must hear, think, see, encounter, and feel. If we see through all the so-called illusions, life will no longer be fun! Because we come from scratch, from childhood to adulthood, we cannot see through the world of mortals or see through illusions, so we have the opportunity to make mistakes! Only by making mistakes can we grow and mature, and thus experience the happiness of life! Blinded? no! It’s just that we are ignorant! Painful? For a moment! Then you will stand up from failure and move on to see more and more beautiful scenery in life!
