The first step on the Buddhist path. Understanding suffering is know as duhkha.
Everything is duhkha:
birth is suffering, aging is suffering and death is suffering both physical and mental. This suffering is our natural tendency to constantly crave that which we do not have.
All is impermanent....
happy moments of joy pass,
joyfull experiences pass...
saddness is inevitable.
So the first step is to see and understand this suffering and impermanence within our lives.
Once suffering is fully understood then comes the path to the cessation of duhkha.
This path aims to end every form of duhkha and help one attain nirvana.
Nirvana is the eradication of greed, hatred and delusion.
