How To Deal With Suffering In Your Life - Buddha (Buddhism)

In this video we will be talking about how to deal with suffering in life from the philosophy of the Buddha. Gautama Buddha was a philosopher, a spiritual leader and is credited as the founder of Buddhism.

The teachings of Buddha revolve around Duhkha, which means suffering, and the end of Duhkha, which is regarded as the state of Nirvana. The philosophy’s most essential teaching includes the Three Marks of Existence, which are as follows:
01. Annica which means that life is in a constant flux, we have already made a video on this, the link for this is in the description.
02. Duhkha which means that life is painful and causes suffering, and
03. Anatta which means that the self is always changing

After the Buddha gained enlightenment, he traveled to Sarnath in the present-day district of Varanasi, where he met with five monks, he previously practiced with and gave his first sermon, the four noble truths. These four Noble Truths are the foundational tenets of Buddhism, which spark awareness of suffering as the nature of existence, its cause, and how to live without it. In this video we are going to talk about dukha, the second mark of existence, to better understand the suffering that we all go through and how we can use these 4 noble truths to deal with suffering in our modern day life.

The four noble truths are as follows -
01. The truth of Dukha
02. The truth of Samudaya
03. The Truth of Nirodha
04. The truth of Magga
I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these lessons from Buddha will help you in dealing with changes in your life.

The Buddha was a philosopher, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who is credited as the founder of Buddhism. He was born as Siddhartha Gautama in India in 566 BC into an aristocratic family and when he was twenty-nine years old, he left the comforts of his home to seek the meaning of the suffering he saw around him. After six years of arduous yogic training, he abandoned the way of self-mortification and instead sat in mindful meditation beneath a bodhi tree. On the full moon of May, with the rising of the morning star, Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha, the awakened one. The Buddha wandered the plains of northeastern India for 45 years more, teaching the path or Dharma he had realized in that moment. Around him developed a community of people, drawn from every tribe and caste, devoted to practicing this path. Nowadays, he is worshiped by most Buddhist schools as the enlightened one who has escaped the cycle of birth and rebirth, transcending Karma. Their main teachings focus on their insight into duhkha meaning “suffering” and into Nirvana, which means the end of suffering.

The Buddha says “What is the Noble Truth of Suffering? Birth is suffering, aging is suffering, sickness is suffering, dissociation from a loved is suffering, not to get what one wants is suffering: in short the five categories affected by clinging are suffering”.

This is so comforting. I came from a fundamentalist christian background, emphasising that we DESERVED suffering, because of someone eating a fruit. This never made sense to me, but to me accepting suffering and the fact that it's not my fault, makes me better understand life and myself.

[katherineg]

This was a very good explanation of Buddha's ideas about suffering, I'm sure it goes a lot deeper, but this was very helpful to me to start understanding Buddhism. Thank you.

Good video, but you get some important things wrong: "suffering" is a poor translation of "dukkha". Dukkha is more like unsatisfactoriness. Suffering implies that there is only dukkha found in painful things, but the Suttas state that there is dukkha in pleasurable things as well by way of their impermanence.

Also, "tanha" (thirst, craving) is NOT desire. Desires are fine. You have to have a desire to alleviate the dukkha of yourself and others, to reach nibbana. Craving or clinging is an unhealthy or pathological attachment to things.

Everything in the universe is constantly changing and nothing stays the same, and we must understand how quickly time flows by if we are to wake up and truly live our lives. - Ram Dass ✨✨

[stevezatarain]

I've personally known some Buddhists for many, many years, one on a very intimate level, raised in Asia as a Buddhist and I've been to a Vietnamese Temple many times. The two things I learned and appreciate about Buddhism is to be present and the practice of mediation. The negatives are from my observations they live their lives in the middle ground, somewhat detached, seeking to avoid suffering and pain at all costs because that was Buddha's big thing, brought on by his shock when he saw the real world. Buddhists seek to avoid suffering but in the end they avoid much joy in their lives because they run from suffering and pain, thinking of it as a negative instead of a positive as that can lead to real growth and understanding.

The stories of enlightened beings and their path to awakening are some of the most mysterious and inspiring tales in Buddhism.

"Such a heartwarming video about the importance of family and relationships in life."

[buddhaneosiddhananda]

If we truly understand life...we see that only through serving others... does our life become worthwhile...

"Life is suffering. Desire and attachment causes suffering. Cessation of attachment leads to end of suffering. The eight-fold path ensures the way to end suffering."

[vinodsingh-grxj]

Simple but explained in many ways, it's a eloborate way and the root cause of suffering is from attachment for our possession, and objects we love, excellent.thankyou .

[kunalgulati]

[buddhaneosiddhananda]

Truth is permanent... it has always existed and cannot die...

[spmoran]

The Buddha had the right idea about life . He acknowledge the idea that the world was Samsara a world in which suffering is always there . And no matter how perfect we try to be . There will be imperfection., desire and suffering .
But, he taught mindful living, and the universal compassion and acception. You are what you are . These are tools to live a full life and a true life, as you are . With all you faults .

[vinodsingh-grxj]

Such a wise words of life, life from childhood to adulthood and old age we suffer, we struggle for living, war brings suffering, losing our parents and children and belonging. One should be detached.
