| Abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to comparatively study a concept of suffering (Dukkha) in Buddhist philosophy and Sartre’s existentialism. As a result of study it can be summed up that as Follows :
a. In Buddhist philosophy the suffering (Dukkha) has two kinds : the suffering in the Four Noble Truth and the suffering in the three Characteristics. The suffering of the first kind is rather mental, that of the second kind is both mental and physical.
b. Buddhist philosophy takes a mental suffering as an important issue. This kind of suffering has a significant role in our daily life. Its root is a desire. If one can solve this kind of suffering all problem in his life is completely eradicated.
c. Buddhist philosophy provides a way leading to the cessation of suffering : namely the Noble Eightfold Path. Essentially this path can be concluded into the three fold training principle and in short into a statement of viewing the world as it is.
d. According to Sartre the suffering is mental. Physical suffering does not appear in Sartre’s philosophy. In Sartre’s view the suffering has the bad faith as its root. The bad faith takes man away from his reality of life. The suffering can be stopped if one stops a running away from his real life.
Both Buddhist philosophy and Sartre’s existentialism agree that the desire the cause of suffering and the suffering can be gotten rid by seeing the world and life as they are. |
