Suffering is the problem faced by human beings. According to Buddhist teachings on the Law of three Existence, The Four Noble Truths and Dependent Origination, we can classify suffering into 3 characteristics as follows;
1. Suffering due to being oppressed; i.e. the suffering of body and mind, caused by unpleasant or disagreeable objects.
2. Suffering due to impremanence, which is fear of changing status from positive to negative worldly conditions.
3. Suffering due to conflict, which is by clinging to the Five Aggregate of Decay against the law of nature.
This whole mass of suffering is expressed in the from of sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair and ceasing process of the whole mass of suffering has been explained under the cycle of Dependent Origination, which is regarded as the core teaching of Buddhism.
