The Eight Distresses

定义

众生身心烦恼的八种苦：生、老、病、死、爱别离、怨憎会、求不得、五取蕴。

The eight distresses that afflict sentient beings both physically and mentally—birth, old age, sickness, death, parting with that which we love, meeting with that which we hate, unachieved aims, and the ills of the five skandhas (elements of an individual's existence).
