| English | The higher realms are particularly subject to 'the suffering of change.' Among human beings there are four root sufferings: bir~, old age, sickness, and death. These four powerful currents of existence are strong enough to carry us helplessly away-there is no way we can reverse their flow. Additionally, we suffer when we do not get what we want, whether food, clothing, wealth, or influence; when we get what we do not want, such as criticism, physical illness, or unpleasant circumstances; when we cannot be with the people we love; and when we have to be with people we dislike. In fruitless self-centered attempts to achieve happiness, most human beings commit predominantly negative actions. Unfortunately, all that is generated is more suffering, and confusion. The demi-gods, or asuras, suffer from constant fighting and jealousy. The higher gods suffer from the change they endure when their long celestial life of bliss and enjoyment ends, and they fall again into the lower realms. |
