Abstract | he article focuses on the philosophical study of the cause of suffering in early Buddhism. According to Buddhism teaching, human suffering is a product of desire or "tanhā." It notes that suffering comes from the Sanskrit term "dukkha/duhkha" which could literally mean bad situation. The term was often used by early Hindu to the hole of the wheel packed with grease to run smoothly. This metaphorical representation shows that suffering is the failure of man to achieve his goal in life. |
