The Truth of Suffering (dukkha)
What, O Monks, is the Noble Truth of Suffering? Birth is suffering, sickness is suffering, old age is suffering, death is suffering. Pain, grief, sorrow, lamentation, and despair are suffering. Association with what is unpleasant is suffering, disassociation from what is pleasant is suffering. Not to get what one wants is suffering. In short the five factors of individuality are suffering.~ Page 50 “Buddhism” Author: Damien Keown

The content of the Truth of Suffering is supplied in part from the Buddha’s vision of the first three of the four signs -- the old man, the sick man, and the corpse -- and his realization that life is short through with suffering and unhappiness of all kinds. Many who encounter Buddhism find this assessment of the human condition pessimistic. To this, Buddhists tend to reply that their religion is neither pessimistic nor optimistic, but realistic, and that the Truth of Suffering simply presents the facts of life in an objective way. If the presentation seems pessimistic it is due to the inevitable human tendency to shrink from unpleasant truths and ‘look on the bright side.’ No doubt this was the reason why Buddha observed that the Truth of Suffering was extremely hard to grasp. . . . . page 52 (Excerpt: Buddhism” Author : Damien Keown

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting. ~ Buddha

Self-importance can be blatant or extremely subtle. In fact, most of the time, it’s not obvious to us. It doesn’t just pop out and announce itself. And even if we can see it clearly, we don’t usually find anything wrong with it. Either we don’t have the knowledge that self-importance is a problem, or we simply don’t want to see it as a problem. But according to Buddhist teachings -- . . . .all the suffering we have ever experienced, all that we experience now, and all there we will experience in the future, come from self-importance. ~ Page 3 [Excerpt “The Intelligent Heart” Author” Dzigar Kongtrul
