Universal Goodness : 39
The Lord Buddha teaches that when we learn to look inward, we will discover that all of us are plagued by four types of suffering as follows.
The suffering caused by the body, e.g. feeling hot, cold, hungry, thirsty, having the need to eliminate body waste
1. Suffering Caused by the Body
The suffering caused by living together with one person or more
2. Suffering Caused by Being Part of a Social Group
3. Suffering Caused by the Economy
The suffering caused by the need to earn a living
4. Suffering Caused by Defilements
Defilements are the root causes of all four types of suffering. Defilements cause one's mind to be ignorant of what is wrong, what is right, what is good, what is bad. Defilements cause the round of rebirth
