"Buddha said that life is bitter, there are birth and death, love to leave, resentment for a long time, longing and letting go." Where does this sentence come from?

1, from Nirvana Sutra-XII. Eight Bitterness is the eight bitter fruits of the reincarnation of all beings, and it is the main content of the four truths.

2. Life is always bittersweet, knowing happiness and forgetting pain. Be clear about your heart and bitter about your ambition. Follow its pattern and forget its meaning. Say, think, do, do, use, abandon, like, complain, worry and worry. They are all human five elements, all created by heart. So how much of life is bitter? Sickness and death, love and hate, emotions, ups and downs, ups and downs, loss of pain, betrayal and displacement are all symptoms of suffering.

Birth, old age, illness and death are natural and physiological pains; Hate to meet, love to leave, flourishing five yin, no desire, no desire, are all mental pains. Resentment is being with people or things that you resent and hate, and it is a kind of pain that you can't get rid of; It is a pain to be separated from the person you love. The five elements are flourishing, namely, color, acceptance, thinking, action and knowledge. Hot, hot. There are many people who are prosperous. Yin, block also.

In other words, these five methods can prevent us from showing good feelings. I can't get what I want, but I always can't get it. This is another kind of pain.

Why did the Buddha talk about the eight difficulties of impermanence in life? The essence of Buddhism is to let us see the truth of things, not to want, get and cling too much. Instead, we should redouble our efforts to create, contribute our own values, benefit the society, and help and love each other; It is also the truth of the law of cause and effect to ask only about cultivation and not about harvest.

If you give up, you will get something. No pains, no gains. If we work hard enough, we will get unexpected rewards. On the contrary, just to speculate and enjoy success, you will also be punished by planting beans and getting ecstasy for nothing. When you really wake up, life is deserted and opportunities are hard to find. Only when we can understand the truth can we understand what the Buddha really means.

Letting go and giving up are not the same thing. It is those hardships that tell us not to be persistent and not to be greedy. Those are illusory changes. We can create more actively and happily, help ourselves to be enlightened, and also help others to be enlightened, and finally we can be freed.
